The Defence Forces Built Infrastructural Programme 2020-2025 was published in January 2020. This Programme, which is a 5 year plan, provides a blueprint for investment in the Defence Forces built infrastructure over a multi annual timeframe.  As part of this programme,  I can confirm that the construction of a new headquarter block for the Army Ranger Wing at the Defence Forces Training Centre is included in the Plan.  The development of strategic infrastructure of this nature will be progressed further as the Plan is implemented. The programme will ensure that the required capital funding is prioritised as building activities increase over the lifetime of the Programme.
