Mr. O'Malley
Housing arrangements for married gardaí are, generally speaking, satisfactory at Clonmel, where official accommodation is provided for eight married members. Minor works and repairs are required at three of the houses, and the Office of Public Works is arranging to have these executed without delay.
Can the Minister say when the works in question are likely to commence?
Mr. O'Malley
Within a very short time.
