Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Defence the reason his Department is planning to spend €4 million on upgrading the Irish Army air defence missile system in view of the fact that the Army has stated it is unlikely the missile system will be used to take out enemy aircraft at a time where funds are so urgently needed in areas such as health, education, social welfare and so on; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
