Significant improvements have been made in the standard of living and working accommodation for the Defence Forces in recent years. An example is the new barracks which was recently opened in Cavan. There are major works in progress in Monaghan Barracks, Clancy Barracks, Dublin, Finner Camp, County Donegal and Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin.
There are further major works planned for McKee Barracks, Dublin; Naval Base, Haulbowline; Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin and other locations. I am hopeful that significant amounts will be provided in next year's Estimate for the Department's building programme.
