“Army Pensions” doesn’t come out of the “Defence” Vote it is separate. However, everyone talks about the Defence budget being over €1 billion. That is actual the “Defence Group”.

Army Pensions is...

It reads as if the logistics and management of it will be done by a very small number of DF personnel. Hotel staff, private security (and Gardai if required) will do the actual work.

If anything...

Estimates 2021:
Army Pensions - € 257,650,000
Defence - € 785,461,000 (of which DoD € 30,500,000)


So very roughly 25%

So in essence we need to use GNI across the board

The EU funded Deirdre, Aoife, Aisling, Emer, Roisin and Niamh (not sure about Eithne, the Peacocks or P60s) to the tune of 50% (ex armament).

We are now a net contributor and we the recent CFP...

Wind turbines also can have a negative effect on radar

As you state yourself, DoD received money in return for land for Clancy and Ballincollig. Could they have got more for them? Probably but they did receive payment

Rockbrae House is being gifted to...

Remember that the money from barracks sales was supposed to be ring fenced for reinvestment in the DF

Remember that other Departments that did decentralisation are currently still paying for...

Other way of looking at it is that the crew that would be in Predannack are pulled into Culdrose’s ATC pool

From my reading of it, it’s Predannack that will be remote controlled from Culdrose

So the ECF of 2009/10 didn’t take account of it?

We don’t have the establishment to crew for the 9th ship

Never mind the strength to crew a number of the fleet

Did DoD look for them ??

Nothing to stop a vessel going to a number of different ports (especially with the MRV) conducting training with other navies (eg participation in an tactical Ex), supporting Enterprise Ireland with...

Nothing to stop them doing all the above.

Same vessel called to Eriteria on the way

Realistically for the DF to get money it has to add value, like the Niamh’s trip to Asia.

Anything that can be done by the DF to raise the perceived importance of the DF with the voter, other...
