View answer
It is not possible to provide this information in the required time. I will forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.
The Minister’s earlier reply stated that it was not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in the required time, and he would arrange for a reply to be forwarded directly to you as soon as it was available. I now wish to advise you that my Department did not acquire any lands or buildings using a compulsory purchase order in the past 20 years to date.
As regards the 12 State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
