Expenditure by my Department is mainly on pay and allowances, operational costs and capital investment across the Defence Forces. My Department does not provide funding on a geographic basis, with the limited exception of funding provided from the Defence Vote to local authorities in respect of Civil Defence and for the upgrade and development of military installations. There was no funding provided from the Defence Vote for the upgrade and development of military installations for County Mayo for 2015 and 2016. The figures in relation to payments to Mayo County Council in respect of Civil Defence funding are presented in the following table:
Civil Defence Funding - Mayo
2015 | Annual Operational Grant for Civil Defence | €78,288 |
