561. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if a centre (details supplied) which is leased by Donegal County Council will undergo a health and safety inspection prior to reopening given the structural damage to the building as a result of the MICA issue in County Donegal. [30581/21]
View answerDonegal County Council is an independent legal entity whose leasing activities are outside the remit of my Department. It is a matter for Donegal County Council to satisfy themselves that leased properties are structurally sound and fit for purpose.
Local authorities have powers available to them under various legislative provisions to enable them to deal with the saferty of structures and places.
