asked the Minister for Local Government, with reference to a reply of 3rd December last, if he will state details of the outstanding work on the part of College Park Estate which the Dublin County Council require to be done before taking over the sewers on the Estate, and in particular the connection between the sewers and such outstanding work; and whether there is in existence a bond or other sanction to compel the developers or their assignees, the Irish Life Assurance Company Limited, to properly complete the Estate.

Mr. Ryan
I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate a statement on the detailed information requested by the Deputy with the Official Report. It is the council's practice, for good reasons, to defer taking over sewers until all construction work has been completed. There are references to works required to be done on the sewers in each of the three parts of the Estate reviewed in the statement. I am informed by the council that they have no bond or other means to compel the developers to complete the estate.
Following is the information:—
Works to be completed by the developers

(a) Approximately 50 yards lin. of footpath with kerbing to be provided on the western side of Wainsfort Road where it adjoins the Wainsfort Estate.
