Projects currently under way or planned in respect of military accommodation include significant upgrades and refur- bishment of existing facilities at the Defence Forces training centre, Cathal Brugha Barracks and Casement Aerodrome, at a cost of €3�1 million, €1�8 million and €3 million, respectively� The White Paper on Defence identified the need to develop a rolling five-year plan for the provision of future Defence Forces built infrastructure requirements, taking into account the capability priority needs of the Defence Forces. The plan is expected to be finalised in the com- ing months� The basis for the White Paper project was the completion of a comprehensive infrastructure needs assessment. Arising from this, a number of additional projects specifically for the provi- sion of accommodation for military personnel have been proposed� Subject to further assess- ment and prioritisation of military capability requirements, it is expected that a number of these will be advanced in the first iteration of the new rolling five-year plan. I am satisfied that the best possible military facilities are available, taking into account the priorities and available resources. I am also satisfied that any improvement to military facilities that has been identified as necessary has been provided for. 24/01/2018A00600Deputy Lisa Chambers: On the Government’s obligation to those serving in the Defence Forces, it is imperative that their physical environment and living conditions be up to standard� The Minister of State should be able to walk into any barracks or living quarters in the country and say he would be happy to sleep or work there� From personal experience of having slept and worked in many of those barracks, I can tell him that he would not be able to do that today� It is not acceptable that it is okay for members of the Defence Forces to live and work in condi- tions that are not acceptable to ordinary, everyday citizens� The Minister of State mentioned that the built infrastructure programme is based on opera- tional requirements and priority needs� A priority need is for one’s workplace not to be cold, damp, falling apart or falling into dereliction� However, that is the situation in many barracks and living quarters� I suggest that the Minister of State initiate a review of the structures and living quarters in every barracks to ensure that he is satisfied, as I do not believe that he actually would be satisfied by their current condition. Will he initiate that review of the living condi- tions and working environment of Defence Forces personnel? 24/01/2018A00700Deputy Paul Kehoe: We have set out a rolling plan� I agree with the Deputy that I should be able to accept the living conditions of members of the Defence Forces for myself, but she will understand that, from 2008 until the past two or three years, there was little investment in some of those living quarters� I wish to give
