I propose to take Questions Nos. 138 and 139 together.

Issues relating to t he operation and management of the Leim an Bhradain Housing Association were discussed at a recent meeting between my Department and Kildare County Council. My Department was advised by the Council of changes to the board of the housing association and that a general meeting will take place in early June. My Department will review the position with Kildare County Council in the light of the outcome of the general meeting.

My Department was not informed by either the Leim an Bhradain Housing Association or the Companies Registration Office that the approved body was struck off the Companies Register.
