In relation to community, youth and voluntary groups using the properties in question, any request will be considered and a decision will be made taking into account the proposed use of the premises, the stage that my Department is at in relation to disposal of the property concerned and the length of time any group wishes to use it. In this connection, my Department has given permission to a community organisation to use the football pitch at Rockhill. Arrangements are being made for the disposal of the properties and I would anticipate that the matter will be concluded early next year.
