Mr. Coilín O'Reilly:

I will address the question on the Civil Defence. Mr. Leonard will come in on the Army. The Civil Defence is a voluntary organisation. It is people of all ages and abilities and the numbers vary from local authority to local authority area. It is hard to get uniformity when there are local authorities where Civil Defence is strong and has been for a long time but there are other local authorities where it is not as strong and does not have the skill sets that some of the people have. It does vary and we accept that. However, we use the Civil Defence. Its four-by-four vehicles in particular are very helpful in times of snow and emergency for bringing people to dialysis and all that sort of thing and accessing communities in hard-to-reach upland areas.
