Deputy Aylward spoke earlier about landbanks and their potential usage. In Mr. Quinn's opinion - I appreciate he may not have expertise in this area - are any of the existing barracks or land banks in the trust of the Defence Forces on behalf of the State in areas that he would deem appropriate for the development of housing.
That is, are they sufficiently close to urban centres to be used for such purposes, or are they still in active use by the Defence Forces for training, ordnance or other purposes?
