The occupants of the married quarters at Clarke Barracks which were recently damaged by fire were provided with alternative accommodation, mainly in other married quarters, while repairs were being carried out.
Four of the quarters have been repaired and have been reoccupied by the married soldiers who lived in them before the fire took place. Three other quarters have been repaired and the former occupants have been offered a transfer back to them from the quarters which they now occupy. The remaining four soldiers will receive a similar offer when repairs to the quarters which they formerly occupied have been completed.
I am satisfied that the occupied married quarters at Clarke Barracks are safe for occupation.
