Question:

258. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide an update on the former Castletownshend Garda station, County Cork [8069/15]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Commissioners of Public Works are in the process of assigning the former Garda Station at Castletownshend, Co. Cork for use by Castletownshend Community Association for community and voluntary activities for a period of not less than 3 years.

The Chief State Solicitors Office (CSSO) are preparing the licence which sets out the terms and conditions that are applicable to the use of a State property. They have requested further legal information from the solicitors representing this Association. When this information is received and the legal process is complete, it is hoped that the CSSO will be in a position to finalise the licence.
