The property referred to by the Deputy is not owned by my department, however, there is a charging lease in place on the property to secure the department's interest in the property.

In circumstances where a property has ceased to be used as a school, and a request is received from the property owner to release the State's interest secured under a charging lease, such requests are considered in the context of the specific circumstances which pertain to the individual property.
