In May, 1972, my Department offered to sell a site on the Curragh Greenlands to Kildare County Council for the purpose of erecting houses in the allocation of which overholders of married quarters at the Curragh Training Camp would receive priority. The council did not, however, accept the offer of the site in question but requested an alternative site.
The request by the council is under active consideration in my Department and I hope to be in touch with them in the matter in the near future.
