Before we go on to that we already wrote to the Minister commending the Naval Service personnel and the work they are doing in the Mediterranean. The committee was unanimous in its support of that. On behalf of colleagues, I also wish the retired Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Conor O'Boyle, well in his retirement and welcome the new Chief of Staff to his position today and wish him well in the challenging work he has to do into the future. We look forward to working through the Department with the Defence Forces as a committee.
