Question:

247. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will approve the lease agreement between Waterways Ireland and Longford County Council with respect to Abbeyshrule Tidy Villages, County Longford who have applied for grant funding from Longford Community Resources. [21199/13]

Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

As the Deputy will appreciate, Waterways Ireland is an implementation body established under the British Ireland Agreement and therefore, the proposed lease agreement between Waterways Ireland and Longford County Council with respect to Abbeyshrule Tidy Villages, Co Longford falls to be considered under the relevant North / South procedures.

I am advised that this process is expected to be completed next month..
