Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 April 2014
517. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will make public the scheme of trust for the Laurencetown cow park and sports field trust; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17398/14]
View answerA copy of the Scheme of User under which this trust operates can be obtained from the Lands Branch of my Department located in Government Buildings, Farnham Street, Cavan. This is now a sports field trust only as the cow park element of the trust was revoked by me by Warrant of Revocation dated 26th April, 2013. In accordance with statutory requirements notice of the revocation was published in Iris Oifigiúil on 3 May, 2013 and in the Connacht Champion on 10 May 2013 .
Arrangements have been made for the disposal of the cow park in accordance with section 8 of the Irish Land Commission (Dissolution) Act 1992. An advertisement of the disposal has recently been placed in Irish Oifigiúil and in the Connacht Champion. In accordance with the same section, smallholders within a five mile radius of the property are entitled to apply for consideration to acquire the land.
