To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government whether, as part of the Limerick regeneration programme, Tipperary County Council provided costings of its proposal for a town park in Newport; and if his attention has been drawn to the purchase price that Tipperary County Council paid for the proposed town park in Newport [29856/16]

Under the Limerick Hinterland Study, Tipperary County Council submitted a proposal to my Department with estimated costings for a new town park and related facilities at Newport. The overall estimated cost of the development is €650,000, which includes site acquisition costs. My Department approved funding of €325,000 in August 2016, on a matching funds basis, with the balance to be provided by Tipperary County Council. The acquisition of the site is a matter for the Council.
