I propose to take Questions Nos. 250 to 255, inclusive, together.

The table sets out the data that the Deputy has requested:

SITEPURCHASED FROMSITE PURCHASE COSTYEAR(S)DEVELOPMENT COST

InishbofinVarious registered owners under CPO€460,4742004 - 2016€3,270,182

Regarding plans for the sites, in 2017, my Department undertook a public consultation process whereby it sought submissions from interested parties in relation to the future use of both Clifden and Inishbofin airstrips.  A large number of submissions were received and these are currently being reviewed by my Department.  The submissions received will inform my Department in its deliberations regarding the future of these facilities.
