Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2014
316. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Defence if he will assist the local ONE branch to relocate the cross of remembrance situated outside Columb Barracks, Mullingar, County Westmeath, to an alternative location, in particular in the context of the small amount of finance required; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40315/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe memorial in question is outside the boundary of the former barracks in Mullingar. My Department has heretofore not been made aware of the local ONE Branch’s wishes to relocate the memorial or any associated costs – likewise we are not aware of any interaction with Westmeath County Council. My Department therefore is not able to give a commitment to this proposal at this time.
