210 Deputy Mary Wallace asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the amount of funding his Department has provided towards the public offices (details supplied) in County Meath; the years in which that funding was provided ; if his attention has been drawn to the proposed withdrawal of service to the public from these premises; if the premises are freehold or if there is moneys outstanding on same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9428/10]

A total of €750,000 was paid by my Department to Meath County Council in 2003 in respect of the one-stop-shop in Ashbourne. No further funding is due from my Department in this respect. The other issues raised in the question, including future plans for the Ashbourne one-stop-shop, are matters for Meath County Council.
