Penrose: No economic benefit to closing barracks; Taoiseach disagrees
Out-going junior Minister Willie Penrose has said a "comprehensive spending review" indicated there would be no economic benefit to closing the Columb Army Barracks in Mullingar.
"I'm on reasonably solid ground (in my) totally different view" to Justice Minister Alan Shatter's belief that the barracks should close on economic grounds, he said.
