Written answers

Minister for Defence

I wish to highlight to you that my response to the above PQ contained a typographical error. The response set out mistakenly that one of the Department’s offices was located in Oranmore, Galway when the correct location is Renmore, Galway. Therefore in the reply, the word “Oranmore” should be deleted and replaced with the word “Renmore”. My Office will request the Questions’ Office to amend the record.
