It is not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in the time available. My Department is currently in the process of compiling as much of the information as is reasonably accessible from the personnel systems in the Defence Forces. Some of the information requested is not available from the personnel system and would require an examination of individual files which is not feasible given the extensive resources which would be required to compile the information. I will provide such information as is reasonably accessible directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
