CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CIVIC GUARD (ACQUISITION OF PREMISES) ACT.
The premises occupied by the Gárda Síochána, at Doon, Co. Limerick, which are the former Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks, were not formally requisitioned under the Civic Guard (Acquisition of Premises) Acts, 1923 and 1924, as negotiations for the purchase of the property were proceeding with the owner, and terms of purchase have been agreed upon.
