[36237/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that in the response sent by the Congregation of Christian Brothers to my Department on 3 July stating that the surplus lands at Clonkeen College have been sold, the Congregation stated and I quote "The surplus lands at Clonkeen College have been sold. Both the Congregation and the purchasers have signed and exchanged legally binding contracts. We would like to confirm for the record that the Congregation cannot reverse this transaction."
