Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that the former married quarters adjoining the Garda station in Carrick-On-Bannow, Co. Wexford was sold to a private individual in 1991.

The owner is currently selling the property. During this process, a mapping discrepancy was identified between that property (former married quarters) and the Garda station property. This discrepancy needs to be rectified by way of a Deed of Rectification in order for the sale to proceed.

This matter is being progressed by the Office of Public Works, the Chief State Solicitor's Office and solicitors acting for the owner .
