Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-16
============================================================

Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

A number of people will automatically retire from the Defence Forces. Is the Minister satisfied that we will attract a sufficient number of new people into the Defence Forces over the next three to four years? It is of concern that numbers have decreased. We need to make sure that we not only maintain numbers but increase them.
