Following is the information required by the Deputy:
Combined totals for the Department and the Defence Forces are as follows:
Year | â'¬ | % | |
2006 | Total Mobile Bills | 253,117 | |
Total Data Charges | 20,964 | 8.28 | |
Total Roaming Charges | 18,265 | 7.22 | |
2007 | Total Mobile Bills | 347,499 | |
Total Data Charges | 32,016 | 9.21 | |
Total Roaming Charges | 81,035 | 23.32 |
The increase in DF charges in 2007 is due mainly to participation in the Nordic Battle Group and the preparations for the EU mission to Chad/CAR. This is expected to revert to normal levels once local contracts are in place at the overseas locations.
