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

Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

I welcome the appointment of Ms Julie Sinnamon and the addressing of pay anomalies.
I wish to also ask about a few other specifics. Key positions are needed to drive the transformation: head of transformation; head of HR; head of digital; and head of gender. Have those been advertised? They are crucial to starting a real transformational change. Other changes are needed to the working time legislation as well as bringing in external capacity for change within the management structures, and progress on Army and Defence Forces design. I would like to dig a little deeper into the Minister's confidence that these all will be delivered by 12 January, which is not that far off.
