Question:51 Mr. Browne (Carlow-Kilkenny) asked the Minister for Justice if he will outline the reasons for the selling of the sergeant's house in Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny.
Written Answers. - Sale of Garda House.
The sale of the official Garda house at Graiguenamanagh was part of a general programme which was introduced in order to reduce expenditure on maintenance and to raise revenue. The position is that even if the house in question were to remain in State ownership, its occupation by a member of the Garda Síochána could not be guaranteed.
