Ms Julie Sinnamon:

Apologies to Deputy Berry on the other questions I missed out. The development of a primary radar capability was one of the recommendations. In response, a project team comprising senior civil and military personnel has commenced work on planning for military radar capabilities. This includes ground-based, maritime and primary radar systems. Delivery of the system is complex and will take some time. However, delivery has been prioritised by the Government. This year's increased capital allocation for the Defences Forces includes funding to progress the development of primary radar capability. The Government is totally committed to it. That team is working on it; it has been prioritised and is part of the allocation for this year to progress the development of that capability.

On Deputy Carthy's various categorisations, the word "accepted" means basically, as it says on the tin, that the recommendation has been accepted for implementation. The phrase "accepted in principle" means that it is accepted but that further consideration is required for the optimal approach. It has been accepted in principle, however.
