The Commissioners of Public Works, on behalf of the Department of Finance, are responsible for the management of property under sections 28, 29, 30 and 31 of the State Property Act (1954), following the dissolution of companies, either voluntarily, or being struck off the Companies Register. The Minister may waive his interest in said assets, where appropriate, under the State Property Act (1954). The waiver applications received from both Lorcan Estate Residents' Association (LERA) and Santry Scout Group are currently being dealt with by the Chief State Solicitor's Office. There are a number of issues, which require clarification. Once these issues are addressed, the Chief State Solicitor will advise the Minister of the legal position. The Minister can then decide if it is appropriate to waive his interest or not.
