Ms Clare McGrath:

We are in discussions with Cork County Council. The OPW, on behalf of the State, acquired a lot of land from local authorities during decentralisation for particular prices at the time. We are holding the land and have found alternative uses for it for other public services in quite a number of locations. Decisions were made and we are in discussions with the local authority. Properties were acquired for decentralisation and decisions were made to suspend it, leaving entities with properties which we now have to deal with in the new environment.
