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
