Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

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

Ms Bernie Maguire:

Yes. On the legislation side that would be part of it but there will be the command control structures within the military and the chief and head of defence, the CHOD. It is quite a comprehensive and complex piece of legislation, which we are currently working on in tandem with this. It should be ready - the heads of the Bill - for Government in summertime.
