Mr. Martin Cooney:

A review of the books identified records of people who were dead or had resigned and to people in the Defence Forces in Australia and Canada. For example, I had applied for a position which was later confirmed. Six months later I received a letter appointing me to another position, completing ignoring the fact that I had been at that time already serving in another unit for three or four months. It took a further 12 months before I was on the computer record system of my unit. As such, it was not possible to record any information relating to me in respect of training. I was also being contacted by the other unit asking why I was not turning up for training despite the fact that I had more than 100 hours voluntary training done. They are the type of issues we have been experiencing.
