47. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the details of the way he plans to deal with the land asset owned by his Department at Knockalisheen, Meelick, Limerick in view of the fact that the Knockalisheen direct provision centre which is sited there will cease operations in 2024.

My Department has previously given permission to the Office of Public Works for the use of part of this holding as a Direct Provision centre which has been in operation for a number of years. My Department has not received any notification of the intention to vacate the premises in the time period mentioned by the Deputy. In the circumstances the Deputy will appreciate that I am therefore not in a position to comment further at this juncture.
