Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

With regard to individual firms, I believe the security contracts were put out to tender, but I do not know the names of the firms who tendered. However, I will get them for the Deputy.

On the question of anti-social behaviour, I have received complaints regarding McKee Barracks, but there is a separate question on that which we shall come to shortly. In relation to community groups I have made it clear that if they want to submit a bid or approach us, we shall be willing to listen. No community group has been directly in contact with me, but I cannot say whether any have approached the Department. I have told the Department to look favourably, if possible, at any such representations from community groups.
