The Commissioners of Public Works, on behalf of the Department of Finance, are responsible for management of property under Sections 28, 29, 30 and 31 of the State Property Act; as a result of companies being dissolved, with voluntarily or as a result of being struck off the Companies Register, the assets of the company become vested in the Minister for Finance. The Minister for Finance can, if appropriate, waive his interest in property, under Section 28 of the Act.
The residents of Calderwood Circle, Donnybrook, Douglas, Co. Cork may, in this instance, make an application to the Minister to waive his interest. This Office will then acknowledge receipt of the application and refer the matter to the Chief State Solicitor's Office for advice. The Chief State Solicitor's Office will correspond with the applicant's solicitor, and will then advise if the Minister for Finance should waive his interest or not.
