Minister for Defence (Mr. M. Smith)

My Department has been approached by a developer who wishes to access his property through a portion of the FCA property in Thurles, County Tipperary. The Department has requested a copy of the planning application and the matter will be further considered on receipt of same. There is no question of relocation of the FCA elsewhere.
