I thank the Minister and his officials for their attendance today. I draw the Minister’s attention to the output measures. Reference was made to the target of maximising the effectiveness of Defence Forces operations with available resources. That target was met and achieved but we do not know how. It would be helpful if, in future, the committee had more detail as to how exactly the operational effectiveness of the Defence Forces was maximised with regard to resources and what measures were used to set that target and to achieve it.
