Freagraí scríofa

I propose to take Question Nos. 155 and 156 together.

I refer the Deputy to my previous responses to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 146 and 592 of 9 March and 23 March 2004, respectively, in regard to the sale of holiday homes at Eanach Mheáin. The responsibility for complying with proper procedures is one in the first place for Údarás na Gaeltachta, which is an independent statutory agency.

As previously stated, I understand from Údarás na Gaeltachta that no contract has been made regarding the sale of the holiday homes and that the matter will be discussed further at its board meeting on 26 March 2004. As I have also informed the Deputy, I understand that additional information will be forwarded to me by Údarás after that meeting at which time I will consider what, if any, action I should take in relation to the matter. In those circumstances, I believe that it would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this time.
