Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-23
============================================================

Carol Nolan (IND), Laois-Offaly

I wish to ask the Tánaiste, in his role as Minister for Defence, to set out what efforts are being made to implement the working time directive. What is being done to address the serious and legitimate concerns of serving personnel regarding the implementation of the directive? They are concerned that military management and the Department of Defence are seeking significant exemptions from the directive. What is happening in that area? What actions is the Tánaiste taking?
