Minister for Defence (Mr. M. Smith)

Refurbishment of the dining hall and construction of a new ration store and toilets at Columb Barracks are due to commence shortly. The duration of the work will be about 20 weeks. The laying of tarmacadam is in progress. That total cost of these works is about £200,000.
