[1010] Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Defence when the transfer of lands (details supplied) will be finalised by his Department. [37435/06]

  Mr. O’Dea: The Sale Contract for transfer of lands, which are the subject of this question, to the relevant Local Authority is being finalised at present. The Office of the Chief State Solicitor, acting on behalf of my Department, is awaiting a response from the Solicitor to the Authority concerned in relation to an outstanding aspect of the Contract conditions. On finalisation of the outstanding matter, it should be possible to execute the Contract and proceed to closure at an early date. The formal allocation of part of the lands to local sporting Clubs is a matter for the Local Authority.
