§ Mr. ARCHDALEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if it is proposed to spend a large sum of money in converting the old Cavalry barracks at Ballincollig into an ordnance store; if he will state its distance from a railway; and whether a more suitable site could be obtained near a railway or seaport?
§ Mr. FORSTERIn order to place certain other buildings, which are urgently required, at the disposal of the Admiralty it has been decided to use Ballincollig Barracks as an Army ordnance store. A sum of about £12,000 is being expended for alterations and additions to the barracks and on railway facilities. The barracks are situated at a distance less than half a mile from the railway. All possible sites were considered, and it was decided to utilise Ballincollig Barracks for the purpose as being the most economical and convenient scheme.
