Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

Ranelagh Gaels is a growing and innovative GAA club founded by its current president, Liam O'Hagan. Ranelagh Rockets is its new initiative to support and include children with additional needs. Ranelagh Gaels is all about inclusion but it does not have a home. Cathal Brugha Barracks in Rathmines has the only full-sized GAA pitch in the Dublin 6 area. It is vital this pitch is maintained and opened up to schools and clubs like Ranelagh Gaels and Portobello GAA club so they can have a home. Will this Government and the Minister for Defence transfer the pitch in Cathal Brugha Barracks to Dublin City Council to preserve this sporting facility for the community and the likes of Ranelagh Gaels and Portobello GAA?
