Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive response. I am delighted that his contribution mentioned the word “priority” and the fact Cavan and Monaghan were being prioritised for this refuge centre. That is a positive development and I am delighted the Department is very much behind it. I know work is actively taking place between Monaghan County Council and Cavan County Council to progress this matter. I am heartened by the fact the Minister of State is telling me that, as far as the Department is concerned, this issue will be prioritised. That is very welcome because the quicker we get this service, the better. Unfortunately, the service is much needed, which is a sad thing to say.
