Defence Forces Recruitment.
1:00 pm
Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)
Is there merit in representatives of the Defence Forces at senior level, or indeed senior officials of the Minister's Department, addressing students in the medical schools with a view to directing their attention towards the Army as a career? It is a fine career and appeals to patriotism as well as professionalism. RACO has made an interesting suggestion to the effect that there will be provision to give training in specialised areas of medicine to attract people.
