Vol. 449 No. 7

Written Answers. - Offer to Purchase Derelcit School.

John O'Leary

Ceist:

94 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Finance if he will accept the offer of £5,000 from the Barraduff Community Development Association for the purchase of the old derelict primary school in Barraduff, in the parish of Glenflesk, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4462/95]

The offer made by the Barraduff Community Development Association for this property was significantly below its estimated open market valuation. Consequently, and as the association did not wish to negotiate a lease of the premises which would ensure its continuing use for community purposes, the Commissioners of Public Works have no option but to offer the property for sale on the open market. That has been arranged and the relevant press notices will appear next weekend.
