My Department is engaged in an ongoing capital programme designed to modernize and enhance the training, operational and accommodation facilities available to the Defence Forces both Permanent and Reserve. The programme focuses mainly on infrastructural projects comprising the construction of new buildings and the refurbishment of existing buildings. The provision of training facilities, equipment and fitness training personnel are reviewed as part of this programme. I am advised by the Military Authorities that there are no immediate plans for an upgrade of the facilities in Sarsfield Barracks.
