Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)

It is the most economical barracks in the State, costing a little more than €200,000 to run. To close it would be ludicrous and would endanger the security of our State, leaving the area from the barracks in Lifford to Dundalk vacant, with no Army personnel to secure our State. I demand that the Leader facilitate the Minister for Defence coming to this House tomorrow afternoon to explain his proposals on the future of our Army and its accommodation.
