Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Cullen)

I have not received a request from Offaly County Council to meet a deputation regarding the future of the former reformatory building at Daingean, County Offaly. The building has been allocated to the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands and is used to store National Museum artefacts.
