I note and commend the work of Defence Forces personnel in responding to the damage inflicted by Storm Ophelia and in assisting citizens across the country. The work of the Defence Forces should be commended, particularly in light of the diminished numbers and resources with which they are dealing.

A number of issues of concern were outlined at the recent PDFORRA conference. I know they were not new to the Minister of State in any way. What are his plans to address the concerns about the working conditions in the Defence Forces that were raised at the PDFORRA conference?
