Adjournment Matters. - Defence Forces Property.
The Minister was good enough recently to meet with members of Collins Pitch and Putt Club, and I thank him for that. However, in the case of these residents there has been absolutely no communication. There is a human dimension to this issue as we are dealing with families and I seek urgent clarification on the following issues. Are the quarters, which are currently occupied on an open-ended owner-occupier basis, now deemed to be surplus to Department of Defence requirements and therefore identified for disposal in accordance with departmental policy? If so, will these properties be offered initially for sale to the present occupiers at a price determined by the Valuation Office in accordance with departmental policy and precedent?
