I propose to take Questions Nos. 15 and 16 together.
The Defence Forces Built Infrastructural Programme 2020-2025 was published in January 2020. This Programme, which is a five year plan, will provide a blueprint for investment in the Defence Forces built infrastructure over a multi annual timeframe. The Deputy will appreciate that for commercially sensitive reasons I am not in a position to disclose estimated costs at this point in time. As part of this programme, I can confirm that the following projects with a scheduled construction start are as follows:
Project Name | Planned Start | Estimated construction period |
---|---|---|
Hangar 3 Upgrade | 2021 | 5 months |
Replacement of Hangar 2 | 2023 | 12 months |
New Crash Rescue Building | 2024 | 8 months |
