asked the Minister for Defence if he will state: (i) the annual rents paid for the following houses occupied by the military in Castleconnell, viz., Shannon Hotel, Castleconnell, Coolbawn, Seana Clune, The Rock, Tontine Houses and Mr. L. Meany's houses; and (ii) the amounts of compensation paid for repairs to each of these houses.

As the reply is in the nature of a statistical table I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, and with the Deputy's consent, to have it published in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

The following are particulars of: (i) the annual rents paid, and (ii) the amounts of compensation paid for repairs in respect of the military occupation of the premises in question.
