I am advised that in the 1990s the Defence Forces provided storage facilities in Clancy Barracks, Dublin for weapons and small arms ammunition belonging to the Garda Technical Bureau. This arrangement was for the purpose of storage only and lasted up until the closure of Clancy Barracks in December 2001.

The Defence Forces did not destroy any weapons or ammunition on behalf of the Garda Technical Bureau during the period from 1 July 2000 and 31 August 2000 and had no involvement in any tender competition for the destruction of firearms and munitions belonging to the Garda Technical Bureau during the years 2000 and 2001.
