Vol. 571 No. 1
287 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Defence if it is proposed to close the Castlebar barracks in County Mayo for both full-time and part-time training with the FCA; if the money will be spent on the works promised by him; the other works which will be carried out in the Castlebar barracks, County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20291/03]
There are no proposals at present to close any Reserve Defence Force facility. However, the cost of providing temporary facilities at Castlebar barracks for summer camps raises a value for money consideration. The question of upgrading the present permanent accommodation and kitchen facilities to ensure compliance with building, health and safety, and fire regulations is therefore being carefully examined at present.
