I can tell you one thing, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, new civic offices were built in Castlebar many years ago; it is about time we got our turn. As far as I know, it is the last county to receive new civic offices. It is a wonderful day for Roscommon town and the country that the Government can approve the spending of €20 million in difficult times. The old courthouse, now the headquarters of Roscommon County Council, will be reconverted to provide full courthouse facilities for the family court, as well as facilities for barristers, judges and the public. It is a great day for Roscommon town.
