Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 May 2017
282. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review the issues raised in correspondence from members of Monaghan County Council (details supplied); if he will respond to the county councillors; his plans to place a Government building in Ballybay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21547/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI discussed this matter at a 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. However, I will continue to be fully supportive of any initiatives that will boost employment opportunities – be they from public or private sector- for the people in the Ballybay area in the future.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
