Amharc ar fhreagraThe Defence Forces Built Infrastructural Programme was published in January 2020. This Programme, which is a 5 year plan, provides a blueprint for investment in the Defence Forces built infrastructure over a multi annual timeframe. The programme recognises the development of a new Control Tower as being of strategic importance to the Defence Forces. The development of strategic infrastructure of this nature will progress further as the Plan is implemented. The programme will ensure that the required capital funding is prioritised as building activities increase over the lifetime of the Programme.
