Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

I regret that the reply to Question No. 150 of 20 November 2014 contained incorrect information; an administrative error resulted in the correspondence from Sligo County Council being filed erroneously. I did receive a request from the Cathaoirleach and members of Sligo County Council as outlined in Question No. 150 of 20 November 2014. As advised in the response to that Question, I met with the Chief Executive of Sligo County Council and his senior management team on 13 November 2014 to discuss the Council’s financial situation with them. I will ensure that the Deputy who submitted the original Question is informed of this error and will request that the Editor of Debates amends the official record to reflect the correct position.
