Adjournment Matters. - Designated Areas.

 

Perhaps the Senator could supply further details of the location of the site in question. It is possible that the difficulty arose at an in-between stage. However, if a person were buying land in a professional manner, it would be expected that the legal advisers or auctioneers would check out matters of this nature. Substantial efforts are made by my Department to inform people generally of special designations being made. The normal procedure includes notices in local newspapers, radio stations, Garda stations and local authority offices. A serious effort is made to communicate with the wider public when land is being designated. Nevertheless, people buying land should ensure that all aspects are fully checked and there is a certain responsibility on professional advisers in that regard.
