I am advised that the Central Fisheries Board vacated the building and site, referred to by the Deputy, in 2005 due to health and safety concerns. While the Government decided in April 2008 to release the building and site in question to the Affordable Housing Initiative, more recently an interest was expressed by a voluntary education group. Any question of an alternative development of the site would be a matter for the appropriate authorities.
