Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Commissioners of Public Works acquired a site from Wexford Borough Council in 2007 to accommodate new Government offices at Crescent Quay/Anne Street, Wexford. The acquisition of this site was in exchange for a site at King Street, Wexford owned by the Commissioners.

The Office of Public Works has conducted a review of the files relating to this property transaction and there are no material details on our files relating to the acquisition of the Crescent Quay/Anne Street property by Wexford Borough Council.

As stated in the previous response to Question No. 314 of 13 May 2014, there are a number of questions that were submitted at that time by the Deputy which are a matter for Wexford Borough Council.
