Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2023
173. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence the number of personnel for whom the Defence Forces currently provide accommodation, broken down by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32156/23]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, the Permanent Defence Force provides a significant level of Single Living Accommodation for serving personnel, where this accommodation is required by personnel for training and operational duties. There are in excess of 4,500 places currently within all the military installations.
In terms of other accommodation, as this information is not readily available in my Department, my Department will liaise with the Defence Forces regarding same and I will arrange to have same forwarded to the Deputy when available.
