Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

I am not aware of any legal provisions in relation to this issue, which may be a matter in relation to which legal advice should be sought. It is open to the residents of an estate to request the local authority to take in charge the roads and open spaces under section 180 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
