Written answers

Minister for Defence (Deputy Willie O’Dea)

The use and storage of military equipment etc. is an operational matter for the Defence Forces. The military authorities have advised that it is not possible to give a detailed breakdown of storage of equipment due to the extensive effort involved in compiling the information required in the time available.
