Dail Éireann — 2024-10-17
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy said fewer people have been recruited this year than have left. That is not correct, in my understanding. So far, up to 30 September, 494 personnel had been inducted, and the latest advice from the military indicates it will have a further 250 by the end of the year.
