THERE ARE MORE than 62 crumbling vacant houses across the Curragh military camp in what one local TD has called “Ireland’s most derelict town”.
The €55 million announced today includes some accommodation projects but none in the Curragh and no new accommodation projects. Berry said that the Curragh Camp is the military’s “defence university” and there is a stark difference between the buildings available in the nearby third level campus in Maynooth.
“There are Defence Forces member struggling – this is a constant problem. I recently spoke to a member who was living in his car.“These 62 properties were built to house personnel. They should be returned to a habitable level for accommodation for Defence Forces members. This will help with the ongoing problem of retention by creating a way for young members starting out on their career.”
He claimed, given the age of the buildings, some of the structures “wouldn’t be suitable for modern accommodation”.
