Mr. Kenny
The replacement of Irishtown Garda station is at present being considered in consultation with the Department of Justice but it may be some time yet before final plans are made.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary define more closely what "some time yet" means? Will it be a year or two years?
Mr. Kenny
I could not define that. It is rather vague.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary settle for two years?
Mr. Kenny
I would settle for nothing because I do not know.
