Jimmy Deenihan: Question 110: To ask the Minister for Defence if a cost benefit analysis was conducted on the decentralisation of elements of his Department to Newbridge and elements of the Defence Forces headquarters to the Defence Forces training centre in the Curragh Camp; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6830/08]
- Decentralisation Programme. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: Given that the Department of Defence and the Defence Forces are currently co-located in Glasnevin and Infirmary Road, surely the fact that the various functions and roles of both will be split, with one being located in the Curragh and the other in Newbridge, will not lead to good administration. In terms of functionality, would it not have been preferable if a single relocation was made to...

Jimmy Deenihan: It is probably the first time this Department will be split. The feedback I got from some of the staff affected is that they are concerned about the future operational aspect of this arrangement.

- Child Care Facilities. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: This report has been awaited for almost a year. Will the Minister place more urgency on demanding completion of this report? The Minister made great play out of trying to attract more females into the Defence Forces and he launched a campaign in that respect some time ago. Female members deserve a family-friendly workplace and for younger women, in particular recently married women, surely...
- Child Care Facilities. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: In terms of such a facility being self-financing, it would not require a great deal of money. I understand that there is a space in the Curragh that could be easily adapted for this type of facility. The main cost probably would be on the employment of personnel rather than the creation of a new space for the facility or the use of special equipment, bearing in mind that the equipment...

- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: I want to refer to the question in the name of Deputy Richard Bruton as regards medical care facilities. Will the Minister say what level one and level two care is available to the Irish troops? I have asked this question already, but I want some clarity in this regard. As level two care provides for a field hospital, how will injured personnel travel from their own zone to Abeche where...

- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: Regarding our air transport capability, does the fact that the Government is spending approximately â¬20 million on leasing aircraft not make the case for having our own air transport capability? Owing to the costs involved, which will probably exceed â¬20 million before the end of the mission in Chad, is it something the Government would seriously consider? Regarding Question No. 131,...
