- Other Questions: Army Barracks Closures (26 Jan 2016)
Robert Troy: It is disgraceful that, four years on, the Minister is trying to develop a plan. From what the Minister has told me, during the past four years his Department has written to the various State agencies and received some correspondence.

Robert Troy: That is okay, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I welcome the opportunity to get to this question but the second question will not be answered because the Government could not be bothered to turn up and have a quorum in order that Question Time could start on time. It is simply not good enough. On this question, in November 2011, the Government, with the support of the Labour Party, decided to...
- Written Answers — Department of Defence: Flood Relief Schemes Funding (26 Jan 2016)
Robert Troy: 56. To ask the Minister for Defence if he will extend the remit of the scheme he announced on 10 December 2015, for small businesses affected by flooding, in order that more businesses may apply, as currently funding is only available for businesses that are located within an area that pays local authority commercial rates; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
