Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

The Deputy can be assured that the Minister met PDFORRA as recently as yesterday. He stated that if there are personnel in Clonmel barracks who, for personal reasons or otherwise, want to move to Kilkenny or elsewhere, there are negotiations which can be availed of. The Minister, the Department and the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces are very open to ensuring, in so far as possible, that all personnel will be accommodated in every way.

With regard to the loss of revenue, I did not say businesses would not be affected.
