"The expenditure allocated to the security forces for year ending July 1998 was £1,435 million. This does not include the wage roll for the RUC that has been disclosed at £658 million. A projected figure of £1,430 has been allocated for the forthcoming twelve months. Since August 1997, £76 million has been spent on building & re-building new Army/RUC barracks, throughout the North of Ireland, & refurbishing & expanding the Look Out Posts, some which have increased on upwards on 50% in size, particularly in the South Armagh area. Figures released, determine that a further £59 million has been allocated for the forthcoming twelve months. This is the response from the British Government, the British Army, the RUC and the Northern Ireland Office to the cease-fire, the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and the current Peace Talks process.
