Central Mental Hospital: Motion.

 

I am most anxious that money from the sale of public assets could leak into the general coffers of the Department of Finance. This is why I mentioned ring-fencing. Nobody spoke against selling off property that is not being used. It is ridiculous to keep something as an empty monument. Senator Mansergh was clever to get in his bid for the local Garda station for his community groups. I am not picking out the Garda as being undeserving of having their buildings renovated or replaced, but gardaĆ­ would be some of those most sympathetic to the need to rebuild the Central Mental Hospital because they must bring patients to that institution.
