I propose to take Questions Nos. 456 to 458, inclusive, together.

The general provision of housing quarters to serving personnel is no longer undertaken. This has been a long standing established policy since the late 1990's to withdraw from the provision of housing quarters for Defence Forces personnel. Provision is made for accommodation for serving personnel where same is required for operational and training purposes, principally through the provision of Single Living In (SLI) accommodation. Details in relation to such accommodation is not readily available in the format sought by the Deputy. My Department has requested these details from the military authorities and as soon as this material is received, I will arrange to have same forwarded to the Deputy.
