Written Answers. - Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin.
642.
There are 74 occupied soldiers' married quarters at the barracks, twelve of which are newly-built dwellings with modern amenities. The other quarters are very old. Each of them, however, has a toilet and the occupants have the use of a bathhouse containing baths and showers.
The planning of further new married quarters at the barracks is proceeding and the question of arranging for building will be pursued when financial resources allow. In the meantime, essential repairs to the old quarters will continue to be carried out.
