Dr. Mark Mellett:

I would be delighted to do that. The priority of the Defence Forces is the delivery of defence services in the first instance. My responsibility to the Minister and the Government involves ensuring that in the context of our position, we meet our core requirement, which is defence services, and then the capacity to meet other requirements in terms of services to Departments. If there is a case - I will put this into the briefing note for committee - for looking at the level of services on offer to the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, we will do so. That is part of the ongoing discussions with the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority in terms of agreeing targets and levels of service so I will prepare a note for the committee.
