Former Garda station sales
Michael Healy-Rae objects to the proposed sale of 40 former Garda stations, citing commitments to make them available to community groups; the Chair directs him to use a parliamentary question or Topical Issue request.
I will. The Government is selling off 40 former Garda stations because it cannot identify alternative State uses for the buildings. This is a disgrace. I am raising this issue in respect of the criminal justice (miscellaneous provisions) Bill. I ask the Tánaiste not to sell off these buildings because we were promised in this Chamber that they would be made available to local community groups.
