I propose to take Questions Nos. 6 and 90 together.
The Curragh Camp is of considerable size, extends over an area of 700 acres and includes six separate military barracks. The adjoining rifle range lands comprise some 800 acres and the remainder of the Curragh lands, some 2,500 acres, excluding the racecourse, are subject to sheep grazing rights.
The question of refurbishing buildings at the Curragh is one that remains under regular review in the light of the ongoing requirements of the Defence Forces. Since 1989, repairs and maintenance works costing over £3.180 million have been undertaken at the Curragh. Much as I would like to see substantially more resources made available at the Curragh, the reality is that the problem has to be considered in the context of competition for scarce resources. This also applies to the issue of establishing a military museum at the camp.
I assure the Deputy that I share his concerns and will keep his views in mind when decisions are made in relation to these matters.
