136. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if he will follow up on the Taoiseach's commitment given during the Order of Business on 19 September that a formal reporting process be put in place to keep all local public representatives and the residents' committee of Priory Hall, Dublin 13, updated on all developments with the various interested parties such as the banks, Dublin City Council and his Department, in relation to the situation at Priory Hall; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am determined to do all that I reasonably can to work towards a fair, equitable and timely solution to the situation faced by the former residents of Priory Hall. Last week I announced the Government’s planned course of action in this regard. I have asked my Department to make contact with the stakeholders best placed to deliver the necessary solutions and to ask the parties concerned to come together in good faith on this complex matter. The Department of the Taoiseach, the Department of Finance and my own Department have also met with representatives of the residents in order to ensure that a clear understanding of the residents' position is central to the process now underway.

I have set a strict deadline of 21 days for these discussions. I have directed my Department to report back to me and I will be glad to update members of this House on the outcome of the process at that stage.
