Vol. 406 No. 2

Written Answers. - County Kildare Estate.

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

75 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the recent developments surrounding the sale of Lyons Estate, Celbridge, County Kildare; if she will outline (1) the present registered owner of the property, (2) when the property was transferred into this ownership and (3) if there has been any dispute involving a third party which may affect (a) the future use of the property, (b) the net value of the property likely to accrue to University College, Dublin, on foot of the sale and (c) the use of plans now intended for the property; if recent developments are likely to culminate in the net loss to UCD or any other party; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Lyons Estate is the property of the authorities of University College Dublin, who arranged for the sale of portion of it. Who the new owners are or the future issue of the land in question are not the concern of my Department.

I understand that a dispute regarding the sale has arisen but that the matter is sub-judice.
