Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

As I am not aware of the particulars of the case, I am slow to make a judgment on it. In the first instance, one would have to see a report from Donegal County Council to see where the matter stands in respect of unauthorised development. I will ask the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to revert to the Senator to see whether the question can be answered. I am not in possession of information or details on the case as to what action, if any, Donegal County Council has taken in the case. As I said, the county council is the first port of call. I will ask the relevant section in the Department to revert to the Senator on the matter.
