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

John Brady (SF), Wicklow

I am conscious that this is our first question time with the new Minister. I congratulate him on his new appointment. It is also our first question time since the tragic murder of Private Seán Rooney on 14 December so I will take this opportunity to offer my condolences to his friends, family and comrades and to wish Trooper Shane Kearney a speedy recovery from his serious injuries. Will the Tánaiste give us an update on the work that has been going on over recent years with regard to full implementation of the working time directive for members of the Defence Forces?
