View answerKildare County Council submitted a proposal to my Department in 2008 seeking funding approval for a Remedial Works Scheme at St. Patrick’s Park, Rathangan, Co. Kildare. Following a detailed examination of the proposal my Department provisionally approved funding of €6.8 million for the scheme in July 2011 on condition that 10% of the cost would be met by the Council. This includes some €322,500 in respect of the demolition of 43 dwellings in the estate. To date a total of €1,767,780 has been recouped to Kildare County Council in respect of expenditure incurred on the scheme. Detailed information relating to demolition and associated costs for individual properties is not available in my Department.
