Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government how they plan to manage the memorial tablet to the fallen soldiers of the 2nd battalion, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers attached to the wall in St Lucia Barracks in Omagh to ensure that it is effectively maintained and protected.

The memorial tablet to the fallen soldiers of the 2^nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers at St Lucia Barracks is attached to a wall with listed status. It is itself considered to be part of that listed structure and is therefore also protected.

Any new owners of St Lucia Barracks will be legally required to seek consent from the local planning authority if they wish to alter or move the tablet and may face criminal prosecution if they fail to do so.

Discussions will be held with any potential purchasers of the St Lucia Barracks site to ensure that they are aware of their legal responsibilities to protect and maintain the memorial tablet, and this will be stipulated at the point of sale or transfer.
