The project will cost €46 million
The Tánaiste and Minister for Defence will today present Cabinet with plans for a new state-of-the-art Headquarters and Training Centre for the Army Ranger Wing.
The €46 million euro project at the Curragh Camp in County Kildare will begin construction later this year.
Simon Harris says it underlines his commitment to ensuring the Defence Forces have fit for purpose infrastructure across all services.
The Army Ranger Wing is the 'Special Operations Force' of the Irish Defence Forces.
Defence Forces Chief of Staff Lt Gen Seán Clancy said the investment “marks an important milestone in the advancement of unique Defence Forces capabilities”.
He said “Both the training and the operations of the Army Ranger Wing will benefit from this investment and are of huge importance as we move towards the levels of ambition recommended in the Commission on the Defence Forces.”
