    In answer to your first question, it WAS:

    17 Inf Bn - now probably a company of 58 Inf Bn.
    Also there was talk of 54 Cav Sqn being moved there - don´t know the
    craic there.

    In answer to your second question, that would be operational info, and we
    would get hand slaps for discussing it !!!

          The HQ of 5 Cav (now 54 Res Cav) moved to Longford, although most of its members remained in Castlebar, where most of the cadre remain. AFAIK the night parades now take place in Longford, with members from Castlebar driving up.

I'm willing to yield my place to these best generals and I'll do my best for the cause by editing a newspaper"

              If they had cav vehicles in Castlebar, they could use it as part of their training.

                Unlikely, as Castlebar is not a permanent military post.
                Might have a minibus or two there though.

                  A minibus is not a military asset within the cavalry inventory.

                    Really?

                    So how do you transport non operational troops?

                        I don't personally.

                        Pontis don't need transport.

                        My point is that the minibus is not an operational vehicle within the cavalry squadron. It is something the squadron gets lumbered with instead of useful vehicles.

                          The 17 Inf BN became part of the 56 Inf BN not the 58 Inf BN.

                          Its a Cav only barracks now. 4 Cav Sqn and 54 Cav Sqn. There is a lot of talk about closing it due to the improved situation in the north. I don't think it will be open much longer myself.

                            You must have:

                            1. MOD 2 completed - i.e; hold an AF154 for the Nissan

                            2. Be 21 yrs of age or over

                            - think that' s it, but I' ll need to double check.

                            The minibus is not an operational vehicle within ANY unit - it's for non operational
                            purposes - that was my point.

                            Ta for the correction. So all the folks in the former Coy of 17 Inf Bn have now become
                            Troopers?
