View answerI understand that Tipperary County Council is seeking to purchase a site for the purposes of developing a new town park and related facilities at Newport. The estimated cost of the overall development is €650,000, which includes site acquisition costs. My Department approved funding of €325,000 in August 2016, on a matching funds basis, with the balance to be provided by Tipperary County Council. The details regarding the site acquisition are a matter for the Council.
