What arrangements have been made in regard to the Army units at present stationed at each of these barracks and where is it proposed to relocate them? Will a capital cost be involved? Will the Minister indicate whether there has been a heavy capital investment in either of these barracks in recent years?

(Limerick West): It is a bit premature to give that information. However, arrangements are being made to relocate the military units at present stationed at Collins Barracks before the property can be offered for sale. These units include the Eastern Command Headquarters, the Infantry Battalion, Supply and Transport and Signals and Engineers Company. The question of relocating the units at present stationed at Collins Barracks is under consideration by the military authorities and my Department and it is not possible at the moment to give an indication of the precise arrangements.
