Joe Costello
Question:186 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Finance the reason Broc House, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, was purchased in 2001 for nearly €10 million, as a reception centre for asylum seekers without the OPW having first examined the premises to ensure that it fulfilled current regulatory standards; the amount it will cost to achieve those standards; if the Department of Health and Children, to which he proposes to dispose of the property, will also have to meet equally stringent regulatory standards; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
