Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
492. Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if the ownership of the multi-storey car park adjacent to Michael Street, Waterford is with Waterford local authority. [29256/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraLocal authorities are entirely independent corporate entities having full responsibility under law for the performance of their functions and the discharge of their governance and other responsibilities.
Given the corporate independence and diversity of state bodies and agencies and multiplicity of land holdings for a range of different purposes, there isn’t currently one central database of all lands solely in state ownership. Local authorities are however required to maintain their own asset registers. The acquisition and disposal of property is a matter for the Local authority and I have no function in this matter.
