Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
492. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to Parliamentary Question No. 644 of 8 September 2022, when a long running foreshore licence application will be finalised and issued to a sports club (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13724/23]
View answerFollowing extensive engagement by my Department in this longstanding matter, the case is no longer a matter to be dealt with under the Foreshore Act 1933. Instead, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has approved the granting of a State Property Lease, pursuant to the State Property Act 1954 (as amended), to the sports club in question. My Department is assisting that Department to liaise with the Chief State Solicitors Office (CSSO) with regard to the complex conveyancing matters that have arisen in the completion of the necessary legal instruments to underpin the transaction. I am hopeful that working with the Club's law agents these matters can be resolved quickly and the case brought to a close.
