Amharc ar fhreagraThe premises in Killorglin is currently used extensively by the Defence Forces as a headquarters for military exercises, tactical training and to aid both the Civil Power and Civil Authority activities in the area. My Department has engaged with the National Ambulance Service on this matter and have discussed a number of options, including the potential to place a modular building, for the use of the NAS, to the rear of the Defence Forces building.
The Defence Forces are considering the outlined options for accommodating the NAS at the site, and this process should be completed shortly. Once this examination is complete, the Department will engage with the NAS to progress the matter.
