Question 725: To ask the Minister for Defence the reason the provision of security on Kickham Barracks, Clonmel, County Tipperary was not put out to tender; the way the company chosen to provide the security was selected; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26229/12]

Following the closure of Kickham Barracks Clonmel a company was contracted on a temporary basis to provide security at the barracks. These arrangements were put in place pending the installation of additional security measures in the barracks. These additional measures will be completed shortly and the situation will be reviewed at that stage. If it is decided that a more permanent security arrangement is required a tender competition for the provision of such services will be held. Security fencing being installed in the barracks is being done following a tender competition.
