A number of meetings have been held between my officials and members of the residents association of the estate concerned. It was agreed that a play area could be provided for the children of the estate. In order to facilitate the provision of this area the residents association were requested to provide insurance to indemnify the State in respect of any claims that may arise from its use. However, the residents association was not in a position to provide such an indemnity. In the meantime a playground has been constructed and opened within the Military facility adjacent to the estate and the children are free to use this facility during the time when it is open.
