asked the Minister for Defence whether his Department propose to enter into contracts for the supply of coal to military barracks where turf could be used.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fuel for Military Barracks.
The answer is in the negative. Turf, fuel wood and Irish anthracite are used generally for heating and where possible for cooking at military barracks and posts. Coal is used in certain types of cooking apparatus, central heating boilers and other appliances in which other fuels would be unsuitable.
