I thank the Minister of State, Deputy O'Dowd, for a factual and comprehensive reply.

It would be extremely helpful to Dogs Aid in Ballymun if the Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW, Deputy Brian Hayes, were to let it be known to the city manager that it would be his wish that Dogs Aid would be accommodated here on a temporary basis until such time as it can find more suitable long-term accommodation. I suggest a letter or communication from Deputy Brian Hayes's office to the city manager. Obviously, the Minister of State does not have power to direct the city manager to do it but I am sure the city manager would take seriously a proposal from the Minister of State at the Department of Finance with responsibility for the OPW.
