211. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will address the lease evaluation of a community based non-profit sporting club (details supplied) in County Cork and explore the possibility of having it reduced, and of a single payment for a 35-year lease; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42057/15]

My Department wrote to Rosscarbery Rowing Club on 10 April 2015 detailing, inter alia, the valuation options available to the club for a 35-year foreshore lease. These options included either an annual rent or a one-off buyout payment and the club was requested to confirm its preferred valuation option.

A response is required from the club before the application can be further progressed.
