Dear Sir or Madam,

I am am member of the Royal Observer Corps Association in Northern
Ireland.

We are currently in the process of setting up a museum on the
former Maze Prison site.

Gough Barracks in Armagh was the site of the former RGHQ Nuclear
Bunker for Northern Ireland and I am sure it is still there, though
in what
capacity I am not sure. It would have housed members of Parliament
and the ROC during a Nuclear war.

I was wondering if there was 'any' possibility of visiting this
bunker with a view to seeing if there was any remaining ROC related
material still inside it.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Alistair McCann.
