============================================================

Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

I will follow on from that regarding the recommendations being put in place. Are there target dates for having all the recommendations fully in place? The Tánaiste referred to transformation. We also have challenges in retaining people in the Naval Service. Does he believe that in the next three to four years the current difficulty with retention will be resolved with the implementation of all these recommendations? Will the Government be over the hurdle of the challenges it currently faces within the next three to four years?
