Ms Julie Sinnamon:

I would like to come in on the point with regard to middle management.

The retention issue and the strain it is putting on people within the Defence Forces, as well as the linkage between people exiting the Defence Forces and the issues relating to the cultural side, came up quite bit when we were in Cork a couple of weeks ago. We will be looking at it in the context of recruitment, retention and trying to address the cultural issues. It came across quite strongly. It is putting many people under pressure.
