Sales of food and drink at military barracks fall again
New figures show that sales in the 45 bars and canteens operated by the Defence Forces fell by 6.3% in 2016 to just under €1.84m — down by more than €123,000 on the previous year.
Turnover at messes for officers, NCOs and privates has been on a sharp downward trend since the early 2000s when annual sales of more than €5m were recorded.
