As indicated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 173 of 21st April, 2010 there are 41 properties overheld at the Curragh, 38 within the confines of the camp and 3 outside the camp in the estate to which the Deputy refers. These houses have not yet been sold for a variety of reasons the predominant one being that the occupier is not willing to purchase at an acceptable price. The Department is developing its position in relation to all occupied properties at the Curragh with a view to ensure that the issue of overholding is addressed. In order to have the estate taken in charge some remedial work needs to be undertaken to arrive at a standard whereby the local authority is willing to take it in charge.
