Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-24
============================================================

Marc Ó Cathasaigh (GP), Waterford

This issue has already been teased out in the discussion this morning. There is a well-acknowledged issue around recruitment and, in particular, retention in our Defence Forces. I ask about the progress made on fulfilling the Government commitment to increase recruitment in the Defence Forces by 2028.
