We are seeing a haemorrhaging of numbers across the Defence Forces. Last year over 700 members left, despite 750 being recruited. The Minister of State is below the target set in the White Paper on defence. Is this an acceptable level of haemorrhaging? What is the Minister of State doing to address it?
