Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

This relates to the transfer of ownership of a building called Harbour Square on Crofton Road in Dún Laoghaire from Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for use as a new library headquarters. I am not aware of any such proposal. The company is currently doing a public consultation on a future master plan for the harbour. The master plan will help ensure all the property owned by the company is put to optimum usage into the future. Under section 15 of the Harbours Act 1996, decisions by the harbour company relating to the acquisition or disposal of land or buildings, either by sale or by lease, shall only be made by the company board.
