306 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 148 of 22 February 2007, if the Office of Public Works has received contracts or any contact from the vendors; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9925/07]

I refer to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 148 of 22nd February, 2007. The Commissioners are currently awaiting Contracts for Sale from the vendors. The solicitor acting for the vendors has recently been in contact to advise that draft Contracts for Sale are currently in the process of being prepared.
