Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-06-18
============================================================

Tom Clonan (IND), University of Dublin

I am not. I am just saying that I do not think it would harm the legislation if that section 2A(1)(g)(i) was just deleted. I think it would go a long way towards remedying the effect. I welcome the legislation. I also want to put on the record that I think the bona fides and integrity of the Tánaiste and his predecessor, the Minister, Deputy Coveney, have gone a very long way to remedying some of the problems that confront the Defence Forces. I wish them and their successors every success in bringing our Defence Forces back up to credible strength.
