Ceist:

89 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Defence the steps, if any, being taken to deal with the problem of rat infestation at the officers living quarters at Baldonnel Aerodrome; the costs incurred in providing hotel accommodation for personnel while the problem was being dealt with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26186/99]

A recent allegation in regard to rat infestation at the officers quarters at Casement Aerodrome was investigated by the military authorities and by a pest control contractor. No basis for this allegation was found. As a precautionary measure, however, fumigation of the building was carried out by the contractor. The cost of temporary accommodation for military personnel during this process was about £4,800.
