There is another Mayo issue on the agenda tonight, namely the need for the Minister for Defence to give the up to date position regarding plans for the military barracks at Castlebar, County Mayo, and the reason the usage of the barracks appears to be substantially less this year than in previous years. There is concern in the town with regard to future plans and it has been noted that there has been a reduction in the use of the military barracks. This is of particular concern for people who are involved in the Defence Forces or the reserve forces.
