§ Mr. SANDERSasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the camps at Glen Imaal, county Wicklow, are occupied by artillery the whole summer, that it always rains there, and that unnecessary discomfort is caused to the men by the absence of any dry accommodation; and whether he can see his way to provide a few big huts where the men could get their meals, and enlarge the drying-rooms so that all the men could dry their clothes at the same time?
§ Mr. HALDANERequirements of this nature arise at all standing camps, and are met by degrees as funds permit. At Glen Imaal a number of huts have been already provided for stables, cook house, sergeants' mess, dining rooms, drying room, etc. I cannot in the immediate future undertake to make further provision in the direction suggested.
Mr. WILLIAM REDMONDHas the right hon. Gentleman ascertained for himself the truth or otherwise of the amazing statement in this question that it is always raining at Glen Imaal?
