Ceisteanna (872)

Phil Hogan

Ceist:

1053 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will intervene in respect of the leasing of lands at Kilkenny and the provision of temporary accommodation for asylum seekers and refugees at Dublin Road, Kilkenny in view of the fact that there is considerable reduction in the demand for such accommodation at present and the costs that have accrued to date between his Department and the Dublin Road Action Group arising from potential legal proceedings in the High Court on 2 November 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21580/04]

The matters raised by the Deputy are the subject of judicial review proceedings initiated by local interests which are listed for hearing on 2 November next and, in the circumstances, it would be inappropriate for me to make any comment at this time. It is, of course, open to the applicants to withdraw the proceedings should they so wish.
