- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: There will be three rotations. How many re-supply flights will there be in total, taking into account ammunition, medical services etc? If a casualty requires treatment in Ireland, will there be transport available immediately? When there is a serious accident, one is supposed to get from where it occurred to a hospital within seven hours. Will this be possible?
- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: I asked about the helicopter backup service that will be available for medical purposes.
- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)

- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: Will the Irish mission have dedicated helicopter capability or will it rely on others?
- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: The distance between Abeche and where the Irish troops will be operating is approximately 160 km. The guideline is that it would take an hour for a helicopter to fly from there to the Irish zone to transport casualties or personnel affected by disease and an hour for it to travel back. Therefore, it would be preferable if the Irish troops had a helicopter on site to enable them to bring...
- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: You are expected to know all about this.
- Overseas Missions. (19 Feb 2008)

- Decentralisation Programme. (19 Feb 2008)
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...
- Decentralisation Programme. (19 Feb 2008)
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: Question 111: To ask the Minister for Defence the progress made on providing a workplace child care facility in the Curragh Camp; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6831/08]
- 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...

Jimmy Deenihan: Question 131: To ask the Minister for Defence the way he will make up the financial shortfall of some â¬20 million between the projected cost of the Chad mission and the special funding that has been given to his Department for the Chad mission of â¬37 million; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6358/08]
- 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...

- Health Services. (13 Feb 2008)
Jimmy Deenihan: The annual report of the HSE south orthodontic service for Cork and Kerry in 2007 makes very depressing reading. It reflects the totally inadequate service in respect of orthodontic treatment in the region. The report refers to serious structural and equipment deficiencies in HSE south and the lack of apparent will to do anything about it. As of last December, 1,049 young people in Kerry...
