This is having a significant impact on members of Civil Defence, who are highly qualified, and they are very worried about it. We are discussing the Civil Defence Bill, which is why I raised it here. I may bring forward an amendment on the issue on Report Stage unless the Minister of State has a response for me by then, whether from himself or his colleagues. This issue has been going on for three years and cannot be allowed to continue for much longer.
