THE CHIEF OF Staff of the Irish Defence Forces has said that any plan to move Dublin’s Cathal Brugha Barracks must first realise that the base is a home for personnel who are living there.
During the discussion he spoke about the issue of housing for military personnel which also covered the proposal, first mooted by Minister Eamon Ryan, that Cathal Brugha Barracks in the Rathmines area of Dublin might be moved to facilitate housing for the public. He said that Haulbowline Naval Base, Cathal Brugha Barracks and Casement Aerodrome has extensive housing for military personnel after major building projects.
This is a European measure which would introduce special requirements for workers to work set hours – An Garda Síochána introduced it more than a decade ago. He claimed also that military culture has not changed over the last twenty years since he served “and that in fact it has deteriorated”. Clancy responded and said that he has met with men and women in the Defence Forces and listened to what they have said about their negative experiences.
