Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

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

Professor Brian MacCraith:

In our work programme to date, we have not gone into the recruitment process in any detail so we have not looked in any detail at the aptitude testing issue although we are aware of public comment on the matter, and not only in the Defence Forces. It obviously is something we will look at. We will look at all elements of that.
