Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-03
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not suggest that Deputy Cronin would not be. In terms of the fire service, of course we want to retain a multidisciplinary approach and to have various skill sets within the Defence Forces. All the local public representatives have been in touch. I understand there is a local context to this issue, and a family context to it in terms of the personnel and then there is the broader policy. I will revert back to the Deputy on it.
