Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

The deadline has been missed by a couple of months. I am sorry but this is not a major crisis. What is important is that the recommendations of the Dáil committee are being put in place and are being implemented. I am sure the report will show that.

I am satisfied the Army will inform me if difficulties arise on the training side in terms of the number of instructors or in regard to other issues. I have had no such complaints. I do not know how many instructors are currently in place but I will find out for Deputy Deenihan.
