Question 2: To ask the Minister for Defence if he has plans to review the €500 charge levied on Irish troops serving in Liberia who wish to return here for holidays; his views on whether it is acceptable that troops serving in Liberia are advised to purchase for themselves mosquito nets and repellents rather than be supplied with these items as part of the normal equipment given to troops serving in this part of the world; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
