Question:

438. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to a proposal by a company (details supplied) that is a wholly owned subsidiary of a group to sell units at Childers Road Enterprise Centre, County Limerick; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that some of the sitting tenants' businesses will be adversely affected to the point they may have to close down with a considerable loss of jobs as they are dependent on the location; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

As the Deputy is aware, Shannon Group plc operates to a commercial mandate and has statutory responsibility to, inter alia, manage and develop its assets and exploit commercial opportunities associated with its land and property and that of its subsidiaries, including its wholly owned subsidiary, Shannon Commercial Properties Ltd. I have therefore forwarded this Question to Shannon Group for direct reply. If the Deputy does not receive a reply within 10 working days, please advise my private office.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
