Castletown issue

Summary

Deputy Durkan presses for a permanent solution to the long-running Castletown issue rather than another interim fix. The Minister says he will support efforts to secure a permanent resolution.

After the summer break, the Castletown issue remains, unfortunately. The OPW was somewhat distracted by other things in the interim. Several attempts have been made to achieve an interim solution or compromise solution. I am aware that the Minister is familiar with this situation. I ask that a permanent resolution be found because it was the interim solution that brought us to where we are now. The time has come for all heads to come together and ensure this issue will be resolved.

Comment on this

I agree with the Deputy. He and I have discussed this matter on a number of occasions. With regard to anything I can do to support him in bringing about a permanent resolution, he can be assured he will have my support.
