Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Brian MacCraith:

In light of the learnings from the past 12 months almost at this stage, we understand a lot more. We are on a learning curve in respect of the complexity of these challenges. When our transition to a statutory body takes place, we will develop principles of operation. We have already developed a work programme in draft form, which we have shared with the Chief of Staff and others. It looks at priorities, urgencies, modes of engagement and strategies for effective oversight.
