Professor Brian MacCraith:

We have learned from this engagement and the committee has suggested some things which we will look at. Our remit is to report through the Department of Defence to the Tánaiste as per our terms of reference. We have learned from this discussion and engagement today and we will reflect on a number of those suggestions.

I have looked at some of Deputy Stanton’s previous contributions. He mentioned the promotions process. There is a “may” and a “shall” there which we will also look at.
