Deputy Lisa Chambers raised another point. The personnel who may be assigned to Finner Camp may be in Dublin for much of the time. The Minister of State rightly points out that when one joins the Army, one is not going to be stationary but will be moved around. However, when one is assigned to particular barracks and works most of one's time far from them, it is not the best way to keep professionals involved. I hope it could be minimised and that the numbers will increase to ensure a critical mass in every barracks.
