Deputy Devlin, you are online. Do you want to come in? No.

I have a couple of questions. I go back to case No. 4 in your report. It deals with a female member of the Naval Service whose career prospects were limited because of being out on maternity leave and who therefore was not offered the opportunity to gain the relevant sea duties that would allow her enough experience to qualify for the particular type of training. I acknowledge that you have made recommendations here to address the problem in that particular case, but are there elements of the protocol within the services that need to be addressed for the long term in order that distinctions similar to what happened in that case are not made in the future?
