§ Mr. GWYNN (Galway)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Government has concluded any sale of the old Shambles Barracks in Galway, which was offered for sale by private tender last year; and whether his attention has been called to the annual cost in rates and upkeep of two virtually disused barracks in the county.
§ MR. HALDANENo sale of the old Shambles Barracks in Galway has been 1340 concluded. The negotiations. for sale-have been suspended as it is possible that the barracks may be required for War Department purposes, as more accommodation may be required for the Special Reserve. A decision will be arrived at shortly.
§ MR. HALDANEI cannot say. The decision will be arrived at very shortly.
