asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that there are a number of National soldiers on the Curragh Camp whose period of service has expired, but who are refused discharge from the Army; and whether he will have enquiries made with a view to the discharge of those men and replacing them by others who are anxious to rejoin.

I regret that there was a delay in discharging some soldiers owing to a shortage of civilian clothing, which had to be issued to them before they left the Army. These soldiers have already been discharged.
