View answerExpenditure on the procurement of goods and services by my Department is mainly on Defence Forces standing and operational costs such as utilities, fuel, catering, maintenance, information technology and training and is classified as ‘Current’ expenditure. Expenditure on replacement and renewal of military equipment (including IT) and infrastructure development across the Army, Air Corps and Naval Service is classified as ‘Capital’ expenditure. This expenditure is mainly accounted for in Subheads A8 to A20 of the Defence Vote and is set out in disaggregated format in the table below, for the years in question.
