Question 146: To ask the Minister for Finance if the Office of Public Works made an offer to purchase a lodge and the surrounding lands (details supplied) in County Kildare; if so, the amount offered; and if the OPW are still intended in buying the property. [24020/06]

Agreement to purchase the property in question was reached in September 1996 but the vendor subsequently withdrew from the sale. In the context of consolidating the Castletown demesne generally, acquisition of the property would be desirable. It is not however a critical acquisition in terms of Castletown. As the current commercial market value of the property well exceeds the value of the property for amenity purposes, it is unlikely that the Commissioners could justify its acquisition.
