I have given instructions that the work should be undertaken as speedily as possible. However, the sum of €140,000 that I mentioned relates to the temporary accommodation that would be required if the summer camp was to be held in Castlebar, which would be a waste of money. It would be better to make arrangements for Mullingar and use that money to improve the permanent accommodation in Castlebar. I do not know the full cost for the other work, but it will proceed through the normal process.

The Seanad adjourned at 9.45 p.m. until 10.30a.m. on Thursday, 29 May 2003.
