This is something I have looked at and I will do something about it. The Department and my officials are trying to balance things.

Regarding the last hotel in Roscrea, I want to get out of the business of going around trying to rent hotels for international protection accommodation services. The decision was made last week to buy Citywest Hotel on the basis that it is no longer going to be a hotel in the short term but to use it as a centre for the screening process and to deal with it. It is not a good idea for me to be going around to all parts of the country trying to rent hotels.
