Gleann Riada estate safety
Dessie Ellis raises the dangerous condition of Gleann Riada estate, including explosions and its location on a flood plain, and seeks ministerial action. The Chair suggests a parliamentary question or Topical Issue debate, while the Taoiseach refers the matter to the relevant Minister.
I hope we might seek to deal with it by means of some mechanism. The case relating to the Gleann Riada estate is very special. As the Taoiseach is aware, explosions have occurred on the estate which is built on a flood plain. I have visited the estate and am aware that the conditions there are terrible.

I would like the relevant Minister to respond.

The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, has responded on behalf of the Government on this matter. The residents of Priory Hall are considering the proposals that have been put to them and I hope these will be accepted. We await the residents' response. Perhaps Deputy Ellis might request a Topical Issue debate or table a parliamentary question on the estate in Longford.
