Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 September 2022
207. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the total number of allotments, community gardens and urban orchards provided as of September 2022, as detailed in the Programme for Government. [45263/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have no function in relation to allotments, community gardens or urban orchards and my Department does not hold the information requested. The locus of responsibility or accountability at central level is determined by the nature of the particular issue or activity involved, not by the fact that it involves a local authority role per se.
In addition, local 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.
