Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

This is an ongoing problem. A committee is sitting to discuss the provision of a crèche at the Curragh and elsewhere. Can the Minister give us any assurance that the committee will be asked to report as soon as possible? If so, will he provide a crèche? There is one in the Oireachtas. I do not know how much it is used but it is available for us in the Houses. Surely there should be one at the Curragh if the Minister wants to provide an incentive, among the many he will need to provide, to attract people into the military.
