Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2017
203. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will give consideration to a request from a local authority (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21105/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that I discussed this matter at the meeting with the local Oireachtas Members and Councillors from the Ballybay - Clones Municipal District on Wednesday 5th October 2016. It is not proposed to open an Intreo Centre or government building in Ballybay, or to relocate one of the Department’s agencies there. I continue, however, to be fully supportive of any initiatives that will boost employment opportunities - be they from public or private sector – for people in the Ballybay area in the future.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
