I will be as quick as possible because I am aware the Chair has not yet had an opportunity to speak. I come from Kildare and it would be remiss of me not to mention the Defence Forces. They received little attention in the national development plan, NDP, and Project Ireland 2040. We need to modernise the Defence Forces to ensure they are equipped to represent us, as they do, on the world stage. Will that be addressed in the forthcoming plan?
