Written Answers. - Defence Forces Property Disposal.

Pat Upton

Question:

23 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Defence the properties and their value which were disposed of since 1990; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6322/95]

A total of £3,010,812 in revenue was realised from the disposal of 122 properties by the Department of Defence since 1990. Due to the very large number of transactions involved, I propose to circulate a schedule of the details in the Official Report.
