Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

Negotiations are ongoing with Kildare County Council for the acquisition of an additional plot of land for this development. The Office of Public Works wrote to the council again on 5 January 2005 seeking to finalise the matter and is awaiting the council's response. When these negotiations are completed satisfactorily, a revised sketch scheme will be issued to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform for approval.
