The Commissioners of Public Works have informed me that they have agreed terms on a site in Roscommon Town for the decentralisation of the Land Registry. The contracts for sale are being processed by the Chief State Solicitor. Because the contracts have yet to be completed by both parties, it is not considered prudent to reveal the purchase price at this stage. The indicative date of the Decentralisation Implementation Group for completion of the building is mid 2009. The building will be constructed on a design build basis and the successful tenderer will be responsible for obtaining planning permission within the overall framework of the D.I.G.'s indicative timescale. Temporary accommodation has been located in a State owned property in the town. This is available immediately and will accommodate a small advance party.
