Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the process of engagement that is taking place. I welcome Deputy McGrath’s contribution and I hope that a satisfactory outcome will be arrived at in order to ensure the continued operation of this centre.

The Deputy should be reasonable. If I get a report on a Friday afternoon I think it is somewhat unreasonable to say that because I have not replied by Tuesday morning, there is an undue delay. We are fully aware of the need to forge a resolution to this issue. I am keeping a close eye on the situation and I hope that with the positive engagement of all concerned, including Deputy McGrath, we can reach a resolution of this issue.
