Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)

-----pending the proposed wording for the referendum, Fianna Fáil will be very supportive of this. I join other colleagues in calling for a reasoned and balanced debate in this regard.

I ask the Leader to ask the Minister for Defence to come in to the House to update Members on the progress he has made to date, if any, in the provision of accommodation for the troops who are being forced to leave the four barracks that he outlined before Christmas are to close at the end of March. What progress has been made in the provision of accommodation for these personnel and could he give Members an update on the accommodation that will be provided for the Reserve Defence Force, particularly in Cavan?
