Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I am aware of the property mentioned by Deputy Ring and he is probably aware of the correspondence between myself and the property owners involved. I do not want to raise false hopes as that would be unfair. We believe that pending the outcome of the review of the future development of decentralisation, what is available to us in Tubbercurry is very cost-effective and I can give the Deputy and the House full details of the precise cost of each location. I assure Deputies costs are kept to an absolute minimum and it is a lesson in how cost effectively a Department can be run, either in a Dublin location or elsewhere.
