Collins Barracks Cork married quarters
Plans for new quarters are advanced, but construction depends on funding; the Minister cannot yet give a start date or cost because the project has not gone to tender.
asked the Minister for Defence the up-to-date position in relation to the provision of new married quarters in Collins Barracks, Cork.

As I informed the Deputy in reply to a previous question on 22 March 1983, the planning of the quarters in question has reached an advanced stage. I cannot, however, say when the necessary financial resources will be available to enable them to be built.

Would the Minister agree that the married quarters in Cork are the most primitive examples of housing in Cork city? Can he indicate if this matter is being given priority in this year's programme?

As I have indicated to the Deputy, it is a question of financial resources being available. As soon as they become available arrangements for building married quarters in Cork will be pursued.
