Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I accept what the Minister said and I am not trying to pre-empt any decision by Government. To put the question another way, if it is the case that the closure of barracks has implications for Custume Barracks in Athlone, can the Minister assure the House that the additional facilities required to cater for additional numbers would be put in place at Custume Barracks to meet the existing standards?
