Prison Building Programme: Motion (Resumed).
11:00 am
Denis O'Donovan (Cork South West, Fianna Fail)
The Minister has made a bold and brave decision to go ahead and purchase this site. One cannot argue the price is excessive given that a landowner in west Cork recently offered a 12 acre site to the Department of Education and Science for a school, at €1 million per acre. By contrast, Thornton Hall is a valuable site on the outskirts of Dublin.
