Amharc ar fhreagraApproximately 140 staff from Longford Barracks were recently transferred to Custume Barracks, Athlone as a result of the announcement of barrack closures in the budget and the subsequent closure of Longford Barracks.
The Military authorities have advised me that there are adequate facilities for all personnel assigned to the barracks. There are no immediate plans to move further personnel to the barracks.
