Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

A whole range of accommodation projects are under way. We have the refurbishment of block 4 in Haulbowline, with 74 beds at a cost of €500,000. I mentioned the refurbishment of the old communications building, creating 20 beds at a cost of €4.2 million, and the refurbishment of the cadet mess building in Haulbowline, creating 24 beds at a cost of €3.7 million, and on it goes. We are refurbishing block 8 in Haulbowline, where there will be 70 beds. The projects are all progressing fairly quickly. There are no delays or anything like that. This will transform the whole accommodation situation at Haulbowline. It already has but these projects will mean more accommodation will be available.
