Written answers

Minister for Defence

My Department has offices in Newbridge, Galway, Roscrea and Dublin. These offices are accessible to people with disabilities. As they are not public offices, any access, along with requirements for special assistance for people with disabilities, is organised through a pre-arranged appointment.
