The case referred to is a complex one which centred on establishing ownership of a piece of land bordering Castletownbere Fishery Harbour Centre.
The protracted conveyancing issues which involved more than one interested party were fully resolved with the assistance of the Chief State Solicitor’s Office. This enabled matters relating to the proposed transfer, which include a right of way and a later request for easements submitted by one of the parties involved, to be progressed through the appropriate legal channels. These aspects have now been completed.
Work is continuing in my Department to complete the arrangements for the final transfer which is subject to contract. It is important to note that the final arrangements, once approved, will require the separate approval of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
