Expenditure by my Department is mainly on pay and allowances and the operational costs and capital investment across the Defence Forces. My Department does not provide funding on a geographic basis, with the limited exception of the funding provided from the Defence Vote in respect of Civil Defence and for the upgrade and development of military installations. The relevant information in relation to County Meath and County Louth for the requested periods in 2016 and 2017 is presented in the following table:
