Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-20
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

Will the Tánaiste indicate the extent to which he believes the issues, particularly the sensitive issues that have been raised by the Women and Men of Honour on the one hand, and the very involved and delicate business of upgrading the level of readiness of the Defence Forces to combat situations that may arise at very short notice on the other, are being dealt with? In the event of there being deficiencies in that area, will he address those in such a way as to reassure the Defence Forces and the public that they are well in hand?
