The Celtic League is seeking assurances that decommissioned military bases in N. Ireland had full Land Quality Assessments undertaken by the MoD and appropriate remedial work was undertaken to remove pollution(see below):
"Dear Minister,
I understand that the British Army/Ministry of Defence concluded the closure and removal of a number of military bases and installations in N. Ireland last year.
Can we ask if in respect of all these installations Land Quality Assessments were undertaken and any necessary remedial works carried out.
Can we ask if in relation to any temporary or permanent helicopter landing facilities specific problems with pollution were identified and if so were these remediated.
Yours faithfully,"
