asked the Minister for Justice if any further progress has been made towards the erection of a new Gárda barrack at New Ross.

The difficulty in this case arises from the scarcity of suitable building sites and the exorbitant prices sought for them. The Commissioners of Public Works are making every effort to secure a satisfactory site.

Does the Minister expect something to be done soon?

I am doing all I can in the matter.

Will the Minister try to expedite it?
