Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

I can inform the Deputy that I am advised by Ordnance Survey Ireland that the cartographic representation of the relevant townlands (originally referred to Parliamentary Question No. 263 of 14 April 2016) has been re-delineated under the Boundary Survey Acts, 1854, 1857 and 1859 in consultation with the Chief Boundary Surveyor (Commissioner of Valuation), who has primary responsibility for such matters. Accordingly, I understand that the current published Ordnance Survey map reflects this updated townland re-delineation.
