Ms Bernie Maguire:

I will take that question. There was engagement at the top level in the organisation on this. This legislation is not a surprise to anybody. As I said, this was in the strategic framework that was published last September when the Tánaiste set out the composition of both Bills. Prior to it going to the Government for discussion, I engaged with my counterpart in the military on the outline of the general scheme. I am looking forward to getting their input as we go through this consultation process, because it is very important that we get their feedback on what we are doing here.
