I propose to take Questions Nos. 370 and 371 together.

My Department holds two small plots of land on a laneway which was part of the former military barracks in the locality in question. In recent years, there has been unauthorised encroachment upon those plots by another party and my Department is addressing the matter of that encroachment in consultation with the Office of the Chief State Solicitor. The Department will investigate the question of refuse on its property and will arrange for its removal as appropriate. The disposal of these plots of land will be addressed following resolution of the unauthorised encroachment.
