Vol. 253 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Army Armoured Car.

73.

asked the Minister for Defence where the armoured car Slievenamon is at present; what is its present condition; and whether he intends to take steps to restore it to functional order so that it may be used in military parades and military displays.

The armoured car Slievenamon is at present kept in cavalry workshops in the Curragh training camp. While it is in good mechanical condition, certain expenditure would be necessary on brakes, traffic indicators and tyres if it were to be used in military parades, etc. It is not proposed to incur such expenditure.
