Adjournment Matters. - Juvenile Detention Centre.
I understand what the Senator has stated about opposition to the proposed development. Indeed, the Senator outlined the objections which have been raised through the local government system in relation to it. A number of other Senators, and Members of the Lower House, from the west Dublin region and neighbouring constituencies, have also expressed strong views about this matter to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. I can assure the House that in arriving at a decision the Minister will take into account the views expressed by Senator Brian Hayes and other Members of the Oireachtas representing the area, as well as those views expressed by local residents and members of South Dublin County Council.
