21. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if he is aware that in previous times, the Defence Forces used to make available marquee community organisations for family and community day events, and also erected and removed such marquees for the group; whether such a facility remains in place; and if so, how a community group in the constituency of Dublin South West can go about availing of this [14348/25]

The Deputy is referring to the Community Support process, which is facilitated, subject to capacity, by the Defence Forces. Marquees are not available as part of this service, but some tentage may be available. Should a member of the community wish to submit a request, they may do so by sending an email to communitysupport@defence.ie. Following receipt of this email, my Department will issue a template to be completed to provide the necessary information to support the processing of the request.
