Minister for Defence (Deputy Tony Killeen)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1764 and 1772 together.

The Department has a total of 56 properties rented for the use of the Reserve Defence Forces for training purposes. Ten properties are in use full-time and the remainder are in use on a part-time basis. There are no properties rented by the Department for use as office space. The table that follows this reply gives an outline of the properties concerned. Rents are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on a number of factors, including the size, location and quality of the facility. Information regarding the specific rents paid in respect of each premises is commercially sensitive. However, the total annual rents being paid in respect of all such premises in 2010 is in the region of €122,350.
