Vol. 209 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Army Jumping Team Schedule.

56.

asked the Minister for Defence whether the schedule of events for the Army jumping team for 1964 has yet been decided; and, if so, if he will give particulars.

It has been decided that horses and riders of An Scoil Eachaíochta will participate in teams to be selected by the National Equestrian Federation of Ireland at the White City, London, and Dublin Horse Shows to be held in July and August next respectively. It is expected that horses and riders of An Scoil will also compete at a number of international shows to be held subsequently, but the details have not yet been settled with the Federation which is the body that nominates equitation teams to represent Ireland at such shows.

As regards provincial shows, it has been the practice to attend, as far as possible, one show in each county. It is hoped to continue the practice this year.
