151. Deputy Peter 'Chap' Cleere asked the Minister for Defence for a report on the proposed refurbishment of accommodation at blocks A-F in Stephens Barracks. [53704/26]

I thank the Deputy for his interest in the development of Stephens Barracks and for the opportunity to discuss the progress that has been made there. The Deputy may wish to note that the project to which he refers has progressed to a detailed design which is required before proceeding to a tender competition and is currently being progressed by an external Design Team.
