Thank you.
As to whether the land on which the homes will be built is contaminated, I can't really answer that because I don't have all the information about where they're going to be built at this time.
I know that about 1,100 units will be built and that the vast majority, if not all of them, will be in Shannon. It's possible that the soil is contaminated. As I've said, if the contamination is underground, as long as the water table retains its integrity, it poses no danger. That's the information we have now, in 2026. It's possible that the land is contaminated, but it will not pose a safety risk.
In all honesty, I think national defence is aware of the importance of providing a healthy living environment for military personnel. I have no doubt about that.
