The people of Castlebar are dismayed that the summer camp will not proceed. In reply to a parliamentary question by Deputy McGinley, the Minister said that even if the kitchen renovations were not completed in time, there would not be any question of the members of the Reserve Defence Force not being able to attend annual camp, as arrangements would be made to facilitate personnel at other locations. That suggests that every effort will not be made to locate the camp at Castlebar, as has been the case in recent years. The Minister has given himself a way out by suggesting that the camp will be located in other areas. People are also disappointed by the fact that is the first shot in the campaign to downgrade Castlebar Army barracks.
