Emmet Stagg
Ceist:63 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Defence if, in view of the precedent set in the use of military premises for civilian purposes, he will make the Curragh military hospital available for use by the general public in the knowledge that only one of the seven wards in the hospital is in use, while six further wards which are fully equipped lie idle, and also in view of the shortage of hospital beds for Kildare patients in Dublin, and if he will make a statement on the matter.
