Question 48: To ask the Minister for Defence if he will allow an organisation (details supplied) limited access to army rifle ranges for training purposes when the ranges are not otherwise in use; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30146/10]

The Military Ranges are highly utilised by the Defence Forces and, when available, An Garda Síochána in achieving both training objectives and operational commitments, quite often at short notice. Therefore, affording civilian clubs or associations access, limited or otherwise, to military ranges would not be in the best interest of the Defence Forces or indeed the security of the State.
