Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Wilson's proposal on the proposed closure of barracks, particularly the one in Cavan. The latter barracks is very much associated with the Wilson family because the late John Wilson initiated that project. It was called the Wilson barracks and was a major boost to Cavan at the time. It was brought to Cabinet in 1987 and approved by the then Taoiseach, Charles J. Haughey. That is an historical point.

I compliment the Government on the weekend's activities which were a continuation of the policies of the Fianna Fáil Government. The Government has imitated us in this regard.
