Flanagan raises concerns over Avon factory with NAMA

Laois Offaly TD Charlie Flanagan has raised concerns over the abandoned Avon factory in Portarlington with NAMA representatives. Locals in Portarlington have become very concerned at the dilapidated state of the building.

“I met with NAMA this week and requested that they intervene to ensure that the site is secured. NAMA assured me that they would prioritise this issue and I expect a resolution over the next couple of weeks. I have spoken with locals who were worried about the disrepair of the building and also the anti social behaviour that such a derelict building can attract.”

“I have also followed up with Laois County Council and have been informed that their Environment Unit visited the site in the last couple of weeks. I am awaiting a final report from Laois County Council on the matter.”
