412. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if he will confirm the identity of the person who owns the Ard Dealgan complex in Dundalk; if his attention has been drawn to the serious problems the vacant complex is posing to neighbouring houses as a result of antisocial behaviour going on within the building; if he is aware that Dundalk Town Council spent €40,000 securing the building and are now seeking reimbursement; if there are any plans to demolish the building; the way he intends to address this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The development in question has been identified as an unfinished housing development. I understand that my Department has not received any request for funding along the lines suggested. The administration and addressing of issues relating to unfinished housing developments are matters for the individual local authority involved, in this case Louth County Council. Matters of a planning nature should be addressed to the planning department of that local authority while the unfinished estate coordinator is the appropriate contact in relation to matters such as ownership.
