No permission was sought or granted at any stage during 2008 for any member of a foreign military service to be present in the locations mentioned by the Deputy. Moreover, I understand that the Department of Defence has no knowledge of any such presence.

The second part of the Deputy's question regarding foreign police forces is a matter for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
