Conditions in north city-centre barracks
Keating raised poor accommodation conditions for Army families and asked Moore to meet a local-authority deputation about funds. Moore offered no guarantee and asked him to submit a question; Keating criticised the response.
Is the Minister aware of the conditions in which Army personnel are being accommodated in city centre barracks, particularly in the north city centre? Would he be willing to meet a deputation from the local authority for the purpose of seeking funds to try to remedy this problem?

I share the Deputy's concern but I could not give a guarantee. I am sure the Minister for Defence would consider any such request.

Will the Minister consider meeting a deputation on behalf of those people who are trying to rear families in these abominable conditions?

We are sufficiently adult to be able to deal with this now. Is the Minister prepared to meet a deputation? The Dáil will be going into recess——
