As the Tánaiste knows, the Commission on the Defence Forces, which was established on foot of a commitment in the programme for Government, published its report 12 months ago.

The Tánaiste will be aware that the commission recommended a number of changes to the high-level command and control structures within the Defence Forces. One of those recommendations is on the structure of the Army, which is to be reviewed, and rearranging units across the Defence Forces is now to be considered. In that context, will the Tánaiste consider designating Custume Barracks in Athlone as the location for the proposed Army headquarters, as recommended within the commission's report?
