View answerI am advised that the fee for hiring the Defence Forces School of Music (DFSM) stands at €700 plus VAT, this fee was increased in 2020. The Deputy may wish to note where the organisation hiring the DFSM is charging a fee to the event, the event organiser is also required to meet the costs of transporting the DF personnel to and from the event, to ensure that there is no cost to the Exchequer.
