Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

The high-level action plan agreed by the Government on the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces contains a range of recommendations designed to assist in increasing female participation in the Defence Forces. A number of the recommendations contained in the Commission on the Defence Forces report may impact on the structure of the Defence Forces, including that the structure of the Army be reviewed.

This overall allocation provides, inter alia , for all costs associated with the existing Building Momentum pay deal, for the recruitment of the head of transformation and strategic HR roles in the Defence Forces and for the implementation of a range of sectoral measures that impact on Permanent Defence Force, PDF, pay and allowances, as identified and prioritised by the Commission on the Defence Forces.
