Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy James Browne)

This matter is still under consideration. My Department continues to work with Donegal County Council and the Office of Public Works (OPW), to ensure a workable solution is reached for impacted homeowners in Elm Park while ensuring that we operate within the terms of the DCB Grant scheme, as legislated.
