Ceist:

273 Mr. Noonan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if his attention has been drawn to the concern of the IFA at the sale of the premises in which the Limerick section of his Department is located; if the Department office is relocated, if it will be in a farmer friendly position outside the city; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh):

While the building where my Department's offices are located has been sold, the position in relation to the lease is that it continues for approximately six more years. I understand that the Office of Public Works will be meeting with the developers in the coming weeks about the future of the building.
