I propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 146 together.

My Department understands that the premises used by the Assisi Animal Clinic and the Ballymun Dogs Trust are located in one of the flat block s which are scheduled for demolition by Dublin City Council. It is a matter for the Council to make the necessary arrangements to ensure all units are vacated prior to commencing demolition. I have no function with regard to the sourcing of alternative accommodation for these organisations.
