David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

The Minister said "for the moment". Could he be more specific about what that means? Is it months or years? What is the plan or is there a plan for the communications centre, which is very important infrastructure? Has the Minister plans to move this communications centre and, if so, what will be the cost of moving it and where will it go? I understand there are many vacant offices in Parkgate Street. Will the Minister move other elements of the military establishment into Parkgate Street from Glasnevin and other places around Dublin? Will the building where Pádraig Pearse signed the order to surrender be retained in military hands? Is the Minister aware of the historical importance of this building and will he work to retain it in the possession of the Department of Defence?
