andMr. Keating asked the Minister for Defence whether present barracks accommodation in the Dublin area is fully utilised; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
All military barracks in the Dublin area, including that part of Griffith Barracks used by my Department, are required in full for military purposes. The use of all available accommodation in these barracks on a full-time basis would be inherent in mobilisation plans.
