Closure of Army Barracks: Motion (4 Oct 2011)

Heather Humphreys: The troops based at Dún Uí Néill barracks play a vital role for the local community in this and other respects. Essentially, they are the last port of call in times of crisis. Some 120 troops and a number of civilian workers are based at the barracks. If the barracks were to close, it would result in a major loss to the local economy. It has been pointed out that the loss of trade to...

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Heather Humphreys: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill, which I support. People must remember that we are travelling a long and difficult road to recovery.
