Ceist:446 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the proposal from the directorate for asylum support services to transfer up to 200 asylum seekers to accommodation (details supplied) in Eyre Square, Galway, County Galway; his views on whether this accommodation is adequate for such a number; his further views on whether six adults should share a bedroom 13' 9" by 20' 6"; the recreational facilities that are provided there; if the dining room can accommodate 200 people; if there is any open space attached to this building; if he considers Eyre Square a suitable location for 200 asylum seekers in view of the recent adverse publicity; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
