In my Department there is one food facility available to staff in the Finance Branch which is located in Renmore, Galway. The current suppliers of Beef, Lamb and Pork source their products in Ireland and Poultry is sourced in Denmark.

Food (hot and/or cold) is served to members of the Defence Forces from forty eight main locations across the country. The current suppliers of Beef, Lamb and Pork to the Defence Forces source all of their products in Ireland and the Poultry supplied is sourced in both Ireland and the United Kingdom.
