Dominic Hannigan (Meath East, Labour)

I remind Fianna Fáil Deputies, old and new, that since 1998 ten barracks have been closed by Fianna Fáil. I also remind them that in the budget of 2009 they voted for the closure of four barracks in places such as Monaghan, Lifford, Longford and Letterkenny. In the motion before us tonight Fianna Fáil confirms that as a result of previous consolidation and investment no further closure of Army barracks is necessary.
