I propose to take Questions Nos. 76, 102 and 182 together.
The bi-centenary of the construction of Collins Barracks, Cork will take place in September of this year. It is fitting that this event be marked in some appropriate way and I have asked the Chief of Staff to let me have a proposal in this regard.
A tentative date of 20 September has been mentioned and it is envisaged that former members of the Defence Forces who served in Collins Barracks will be invited.
