Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I support what the Deputy is calling for. Civil Defence should be properly resourced and housed in appropriate and modern facilities. They should be appropriate in the first instance and modernised as funding comes available. Such funding should always have been available. My question relates to other uses for Columb Barracks. Has consideration been given to using part of the site for homeless former veterans? The Irish United Nations Veterans Association raised this issue with me and probably the Minister of State.
