I thank the Minister of State for his positive response. There has been considerable investment in infrastructure and equipment to bring our military into the modern era in terms of its capacity to respond to situations at home and abroad. Will we be able to provide the necessary equipment to support our participation in the EU battle group and our ongoing responsibilities with UNIFIL? Will the proceeds of the sales of barracks in Mullingar, Clonmel and Cavan be used in part or in total to assist with the ongoing procurement of equipment and the upgrading of facilities at the State's remaining barracks, as was the case with previous sales?
