Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

I understand that a Government position paper states that the possibility of a member of the Defence Forces aged under 18 years being involved in a hostile incident is virtually negligible. The word "virtually" does not completely preclude this possibility. The Minister appears to be completely satisfied that no member of the Defence Forces aged under 18 years will be involved in pursuing the types of duties he described. Will he provide an absolute guarantee in that regard?
