asked the Minister for the Environment if he will hold an inquiry into the sales of two sites (details supplied) in County Meath by Meath County Council; and the action he proposes to take in the matter.

I have had inquiries made in relation to the sale of the two sites in question and these indicate that there was no irregularity involved in either sale. A mapping error occurred which caused the second site sold to encroach marginally on the first. I understand that discussions are currently taking place between Meath County Council and the purchaser of the second site which, hopefully, will resolve the matter.
