362 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties being experienced by the local authorities in respect of the implementation of Part V agreements under the Planning and Development Act 2001 for properties in receivership as well as under the control of the National Asset Management Agency; if he will clarify the situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2490/11]

Existing Part V agreements continue to stand even where a loan in respect of a particular development with such an agreement attached has transferred to the National Asset Management Agency or a development is in receivership. However, the manner in which such agreements are delivered on is a matter for the relevant local authority. My Department is not aware of any specific difficulties being experienced by local authorities in this regard.
