I refer to previous Parliamentary Questions requesting a breakdown of anti-malaria drugs prescribed to Irish troops operating in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015. I apologise for the delay in responding. The information sought required a considerable amount of manual checking of the medical files. The following table gives a breakdown from January to July 2015.

Malaria Chemo-prophylaxis presbribed. Number of Personnel
Lariam 45
Malarone 14
Doxycycline 1
Total 60 ( total)
