asked the Minister for Defence if he will cause inquiries to be made with a view to allowing portion of the unused buildings in the Mullingar Military Barracks to be handed over to the Town Commissioners for the purpose of relieving the grave shortage of housing accommodation in Mullingar.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - HOUSING ACCOMMODATION IN MULLINGAR.
I have caused inquiries to be made in the matter, but regret that it is not practicable to give effect to the Deputy's suggestion. Portion of the married quarters in the Mullingar Military Barracks is already occupied by military personnel. Nine premises only are unoccupied at the moment and it is quite possible that these will be required for military purposes.
