Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

The information requested is not collected by my Department, as the approval or confirmation of proposals for the compulsory purchase of land or property by statutory authorities is a matter for An Bord Pleanála.

In this connection, arrangements have been put in place by each Agency under the remit of my Department, including An Bord Pleanála, to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas.  The contact email address for An Bord Pleanála in this regard is [e-mail].
