Order of Business

Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)
I want to know why that is the case. The Minister was misled by the top brass in the Defence Forces. Even while he was telling delegations from Cavan, which I accompanied, and the other three towns that he had not reached a decision, instructions were issuing from Defence Forces headquarters for the Reserve Defence Force units based in Cavan to find alternative accommodation. Is he not the Minister? Did he make the decision or is he being led by the cushy top brass in the Curragh in deciding the future of 700 men and women who have served this State at home and abroad?
