398. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Clare County Council has been unable to locate a planning file (details supplied) relating to the Westpark estate development in Spanish Point, County Clare; that this development is the subject of a complaint to the Commission of the European Communities regarding failure to comply with community law regarding sewer leaks from an alleged unauthorised wastewater treatment plant; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have not been made aware of any issue in relation to a planning file but I am aware that the development in question is part of pre-infringement proceeding in relation to waste water discharges initiated against Ireland by the European Commission in March 2013. My Department issued a formal reply to the European Commission on 21 June 2013 and a response from the Commission is awaited.
