Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-02
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I very much agree with the Tánaiste that the implementation plan needs to be credible. This is important. It was due to be published in January, as I understand it. Is there a plan for when this will be published or do we know how near it is to being published? Regarding engagement and involvement with the different representative organisations concerning advancing this endeavour, has the Tánaiste met with them? Turning to the exemptions under the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, how these would be implemented for the Defence Forces is important. Is this going to happen? Is it going to apply to people? Is this part of the plan? I ask the Tánaiste to outline the situation with these matters.
