Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

I refer to the reply to Questions Nos. 365 and 366 of 2 October, 2012.

It is a matter for the local authority to determine the exact nature and extent of the works to be carried out on the houses in the Oldcourt Estate under the remediation programme being funded out of internal capital receipts.
