§ MR. JUSTIN M'CARTHYasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the intention of the Military authorities to rebuild the large block of stabling recently burnt down in Longford Barracks; and, whether, considering the central position and healthy situation of Longford, its Railway accommodation, and its cheap and excellent supply of forage, the Government will improve the barrack accommodation, and make the place again, as it was for many years, the head-quarters of a Cavalry Regiment?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON, in reply, said, the question of how far the accommodation described should be replaced was at present under consideration. For military reasons, it was not desirable to make Longford the headquarters of a Cavalry regiment; but it was intended that detachments of Cavalry and Infantry, with the headquarters of a Militia regiment, should stay there.
