Shannon Heritage Properties

Summary

Deputy McNamara seeks capital funding for Clare County Council to take over Shannon Heritage properties. The Taoiseach says the council wants the transfer and should proceed with it.

I wish to raise the issue of Shannon Heritage Properties with the Taoiseach. I have raised it many times before. A due diligence process is in place now for Clare County Council to effectively take over the Clare properties, as I am sure the Taoiseach is aware. Key to that is capital funding. Clare County Council has limited sources of revenue; namely, local property tax and rates. Nobody is going to thank it if it raises local property tax and rates in order to put a roof on a castle, for example. There will be funding required to ensure these properties are in a good state. Will the Taoiseach undertake to provide that funding?
