Question 475: To ask the Minister for Defence the length of time the Defence Forces were using the services of institutional laundries such as Magdalene Laundries, as distinct from commercial laundries, post-1941; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29887/10]

I would refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question number 28567/10 of Wednesday, 30 June 2010 in which I said that the information sought by the Deputy refers to contracts that were in place up to almost 70 years ago. In the short space of time available for answer, it has not been possible to establish the extent to which the records still exist and, if so, to locate them. However, the Department will seek to locate relevant records and will correspond directly with the Deputy in this regard in the near future.
