To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding the conditions of the Garda Terrace in Phoenix Park, Dublin; if he is currently responding to residents' requests to be re-housed due to the continuing degradation of conditions with the accommodation; if he is treating this with the utmost urgency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy will be aware that the allocation of Garda resources, including accommodation, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that legal issues have arisen in relation to the occupation of a number of properties at the location referred to by the Deputy. I also understand that legal advice has been sought in relation to these issues and, accordingly, it would not be appropriate for me to comment in relation to the matter.
