The Taoiseach and Minister for Defence (Deputy Brian Cowen)

The premises leased by my Department for use by the Reserve Defence Forces are outlined in the tabular statement. Rents paid for these premises are based on a number of factors including size, location and quality of the facilities and vary considerably. Information on the leases and individual rents paid in respect of these premises is commercially sensitive and therefore not available. However, the requirements of the RDF are reviewed annually and every effort is made on an ongoing basis to reduce costs. In this connection, expenditure by my Department on such facilities reduced from €196,128 in 2006 down to €140,479 in 2008 and €92,500 for 2009.
