I propose to take Questions Nos. 97 and 98 together.

I am advised that the Department has not purchased any additional land or buildings for the period 2014 to date.

A total of €65,000 was expended on the leasing of land for use by the Defence Forces over the above period. This expenditure was incurred in respect of the leasing of some 29 acres of land in Co. Meath at an annual cost of €13,000 and lease term of 21 years.

In addition, Ground Rent is paid in respect of a number of properties, the details of which are shown in the following table.
