Minister for Defence (Deputy Alan Shatter)

The properties currently being rented or leased by the Department are set out hereunder. All these properties are used on an ongoing basis by the Defence Forces. Information regarding the specific rents paid in respect of each premises is commercially sensitive and it would be inappropriate for me to provide this information.
