Niall Collins (Limerick West, Fianna Fail)

I am mindful of the risks and dangers associated with the mission which our troops are undertaking. However, I do not believe we should be sensationalist and any unfounded claims will only serve to upset or undermine the confidence of the families of those associated with the mission. With that in mind I ask the Minister to state what equipment will be accompanying the troops to Chad. What costs are covered by the estimate of €57 million referred to by the Minister? I ask him to provide a breakdown of the transport costs.
