Ceist:

354. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the extent to which the development at The Waterways, Sallins, has been freed of any encumbrances with a view to becoming fully functional in both the commercial and residential; if adequate progress has been achieved in this regard; when likely aspects affecting the title to residential property threat are likely to be resolved; if and when he expects the commercial space to be fully functional; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

As I outlined to the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 265 of 24 May 2016, which set out the position in this matter, the finalisation of any outstanding planning related matters affecting the development concerned is a matter for Kildare County Council and one in which I have no function. Under section 30 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, I am specifically precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular planning case with which a planning authority, including An Bord Pleanála, is or may be concerned.
