Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 387, 390 and 391 together.

Taking in charge of estates is a matter for the relevant planning authority under section 180 of the Planning and Development Act 2000. I have no role or power to direct planning authorities in this regard. Under section 30 of the Act, I am specifically precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular case with which a planning authority is or may be concerned.
