Amharc ar fhreagraAs stated in my response to the Deputy's Parliamentary Question 16190/17 on 4th April 2017, the property referred to by the Deputy is under Bord Iascaigh Mhara’s (BIM) remit and is currently not part of my Department’s property portfolio in Dingle Fishery Harbour Centre.
Whilst my Department has been engaged with BIM in regard to the property that position has not changed.
In general properties owned by my Department, located in Fishery Harbour Centres are, when appropriate, offered for tenancy under lease agreements by means of open competitive tendering process in accordance with best practice and public procurement guidelines.
With reference to the specific case raised by the Deputy, my Department has not been approached in this regard, or made aware of the details.
