I appointed Mr Seamus Woulfe SC to carry out an independent review of the compulsory acquisition of land at Charlesland, County Wicklow, by Wicklow County Council following representations made by three Wicklow county councillors. I have received Mr. Woulfe’s report. I intend shortly to send the report to Wicklow County Council and the three county councillors who made the representations and to make the report available publicly. This report follows from a review carried out last year by Mr. Woulfe into the management by my Department of an application by Wicklow County Council for loan approval in respect of the above mentioned compulsory purchase following representations made by the councillors in regard to my Department. The report fully exonerated my Department.
