There is a charging lease in place on the property referred to by the Deputy which means that I have a vested interest in the property. I can confirm that my Department has received a request from the property owner to release my interest in the property.
My Department has considered the above request to use the property for community purposes and has no objection in principle to the request. The Chief State Solicitor's Office has been instructed in the matter and is in ongoing contact with the property owner's legal representatives with a view to completing the process as soon as possible.
