Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2015
99. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 192 of 18 November 2014, the progress that has been achieved in identifying space for community use at the building developed by Newbridge Credit Union; the form of community engagement that has taken place, or will take place, on this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9653/15]
View answerThe Commissioners of Public Works advise that the position is largely unchanged since my reply to the Deputy of 18 November 2014.
The Commissioners signed contracts with the High Court appointed Liquidator for the purchase of the former Credit Union building in November 2014 and the transaction has not yet closed. The first phase of fit-out works for Intreo are complete but the second phase cannot commence until Permanent TSB has moved to alternative accommodation.
On completion of the Intreo fit-out works which are scheduled for late May 2015, the issue of community use of part of the building can be reviewed in conjunction with the Department of Social Protection.
