812. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the fee simple of the pier on the river at Ashford Castle was sold when Ashford Castle, County Mayo and the rest of the property around the Castle, were transferred from a long lease to a transfer to fee simple, some time, in the 1990’s; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The records of the former Irish Land Commission (ILC) are being examined by my Department to ascertain if the information sought is available. It would be helpful if the Deputy could supply a map identifying the pier in question as various properties in the Ashford Castle area were taken up by the former ILC on several different Estates. My Department will respond directly to the Deputy once the location of the pier has been identified and the matter researched.
