Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Defence Forces: Discussion
9:30 am
Dr. Mark Mellett:
No. In 2025 the White Paper will have had its ten years. My current target is 2021. I do not want to be held to that. My planning requirement is to reduce the churn within the Defence Forces as a whole with a view to reducing the numbers leaving prematurely and maximising the numbers coming in and training and developing of new recruits.
