Minister of State at the Department of Defence

The position is that Ballymullin Barracks in Tralee remains operational and has a Reserve Defence Force (RDF) Unit based there. It is used for RDF training purposes and other military activities. My Department has not received any request for the use of a property in the Barracks.

If the Association make a request for the accommodation required, detailing their proposed use of the accommodation, it will be considered.
