I welcome the interim agreement that has been put in place for the post-1994 sergeants. What impact will that have on pensions provision? That is an interim solution for two years but we need to find a permanent solution. We know the impact the shortage of about 400 sergeants and those of equivalent rank throughout the Defence Forces is having. I ask the Minister to provide an overview on that.

I also ask about the working time directive.
