I propose to take Questions Nos. 161 to 164, inclusive, together.

As the Deputy may be aware it has been a long standing policy, in line with other public sector employers, to discontinue the historic provision of tied housing to serving personnel. Single living in accommodation is provided for operational and transient use and by its nature it is not designed for long stay accommodation.

There is a residual amount of habitable housing stock maintained for personnel to avail of for training and operational purposes. The allocation of such housing is decided locally by the military authorities pursuant to the provisions of Defence Forces Regulation Q6 (Public Quarters). The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available in the format requested. My officials will seek this information from the military authorities and I will arrange to have this data forwarded in due course.
