Gabhaim buíochas leis an Tánaiste.
The situation in the Curragh Camp has been brought up by my comrade, an Teachta Patricia Ryan, on several occasions but since I was appointed junior spokesperson for defence, wives and partners have come to me with some truly heartbreaking stories. The basic needs of safe housing of these families' men and women who have served us so proudly are not being met. It really is a shame when we have, as the Minister said, accommodation on the Curragh Camp.
I am pleased that he has stopped the demolition of those houses. There are more than 60 vacant houses. Has he a timeline for when he expects them to be ready?
