Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Fergus O'Dowd)

As stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 290 on 18 June 2013, matters in relation to the sale of premises are a day to day operational matter for the Board of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) subject to Public Financial Procedures.

Details as regards public tendering and the transaction referred to by the Deputy are included on files held by the Board and not the Department.

In this regard, I have asked IFI to expedite contact with the Deputy to address her queries.
