Concerns raised the Reserve Defence Force base in Ballina is to close

Concerns have been raised this evening that the Ballina base for the Reserve Defence Forces is to be closed.

Mayo Fianna Fail TD Dara Calleary says that he has received information that the base is to close and the formal announcement is due early next week.

The base in Ballina is the third most active in the country.

It has an active company of 85.

Deputy Calleary says he cannot understand the decision as it will not save a huge amount of money, yet the base is very active.
