-----and it is ongoing. Are there numbers with respect to how many people fail the psychometric tests in the Permanent Defence Force, PDF, and the Army, in particular, and has that had any impact in recruitment into the Naval Service? It was a fence that many people could not jump over and they failed at that time.
The other thing I am interested in is how many people would have failed medical and physical examinations. Physical examinations, in particular, are something in which I would be interested. Again, the Minister might not have those figures to hand now, but he might provide them at some stage.
