Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

I understand the builder on site had difficulties and a new builder had to be appointed, which is not the fault of the Minister. Can the Minister clarify when he thinks the building will be completed? In the meantime, Army personnel are leaving perfect living quarters in Monaghan and the Minister is putting them into accommodation which is totally unacceptable.

Can the Minister give us an indication today of when the building will be completed? Can he assure us that the personnel will be in satisfactory living accommodation within a short space of time and will not have to wait for a number of months?
