asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to a proposal by Dún Laoghaire Corporation to place a compulsory purchase order on Loughlinstown Commons, County Dublin, and if he will make a general statement ensuring his rejection of the proposal.

There is no compulsory purchase order in respect of these lands before me for consideration. If such an order is made by Dún Laoghaire Corporation and submitted to me for confirmation, every aspect of the matter will be fully considered before I give a decision on the order.
