Mary O'Rourke

Question:

100 Mrs. O'Rourke asked the Minister for Defence if he will review the case of a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath who has retired from the Army but has not received his civilian apparel; and if he will have arrangements made to have this civilian apparel made available. [11343/96]

Minister for Defence (Mr. Barrett)

Arrangements have been made to supply the person in question with a civilian suit in the near future. The original contractor for the supply of a number of suits, including the case in question, went into liquidation and an alternative source of supply had to be sought.
