The actions to be taken with regard to 6 properties at the location referred to, are a matter for Clare County Council and exact information on this matter will be available directly from the Council. My Department has received no proposals or funding applications to date in respect of these properties.

From contacts between the Council and my Department, I understand that the Council is now working with a design team to possibly advance a housing proposal at the location. As to whether this will involve the retention of the 6 existing properties will, again, be a matter for Clare County Council.
