Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I have not spoken to the Minister of State about this particular matter, but I did speak to him some weeks ago. I understand he is trying to make arrangements to make a statement in the House. I am confident that he has not breached that aspect of the Act. I have been a member of a local authority, as I think Deputy Farrell has. Because this is a reserved function, only a full meeting of the local authority can dispose of property. The Minister of State was not even a member of the council at that time. A local area committee cannot dispose of property.
