I join my colleagues in calling for a debate on the Middle East. I avail of this opportunity to congratulate and welcome back from Greece my constituency colleague, Senator Leyden, who did great work.

Will the Leader invite the Minister for Defence to the House. There is a plan by Brigadier General Swords regarding rationalisation of military installations. Will the Minister confirm or deny that the barracks in Boyle and Castlerea are at risk? This is a matter of grave concern to the personnel and others in these areas. Will the Minister come before the House to confirm or deny that this report exists?
