Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works (OPW) that the site at the junction of Abbey Row and Bridge Street, Athenry, Co. Galway is not owned, or under consideration for purchase, by the OPW.

However, the OPW is in the process of transferring a site in their ownership at the junction of the R347 and L3112 roads, adjacent to Athenry Boys National School, to Galway County Council.
