§ MR. ENNISasked the Secretary of State for War, If there be any truth in 1852 the report that Castlebar is to be made the depôt centre for the West of Ireland, instead of Athlone; and, when an opportunity will be afforded to the House of discussing the proposed scheme for the localization of the Army?
§ MR. CARDWELL, in reply, said, in the proposal that had been laid upon the Table of the House the alternative was put to Athlone or Castlebar. Athlone was a great military station where the barracks were occupied, and there were barracks at Castlebar which it was thought might be convenient for the purpose.
