The continued underspend in this area underlines in a practical way the difficulties that have faced the Reserve Defence Force in recent times. While the Minister's recent statements have convinced me of his commitment to the Reserve, definitive action must be taken to consolidate the position of the Reserve Defence Force. The expenditure provided for this year may be more realistic than the figure provided in 2012.
