Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. As he is aware, Custume Barracks in Athlone have seen some additional capital investment on foot of the closure of the barracks in County Longford. As he knows, the military authorities are considering the possible closure of Cavan and Mullingar barracks, where a total of 330 soldiers and 240 reservists are based. This would have implications for the majority of staff who, in all probability, would be transferred to Custume Barracks. On foot of imminent closures, are plans afoot to make further investment in Custume Barracks?
