I propose to take Questions Nos. 317 and 318 together.

It is understood that the probation and welfare service has identified a suitable site for a service centre in the Dublin 15 area. The probation and welfare service is currently in discussion with Fingal County Council with a view to acquiring the site.

Office accommodation has also been identified by the OPW to meet the requirements of the probation and welfare service. A technical report on the offices is expected shortly. When office accommodation has been acquired the fit-out will be carried out as quickly as possible.
