Adjournment Matters. - Juvenile Detention Centre.
The Minister will be aware that before Christmas there was a controversial move by the Government to sell off the juvenile detention centre at Shanganagh. There is a view in our community that because the lands at Shanganagh are considerably more valuable than those at Newlands Cross they will be sold off, but as land in Dublin 24 is not as expensive a juvenile detention centre will be built there. This will not be accepted on a cross-party community basis. I expect the Minister to say the proposal has been scrapped.
