Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

As the House will be aware, the implementation report made various recommendations about pay and conditions, recruitment, training and the relationship between the first line reserve and the Army reserve and Naval Service reserve. The military authorities had reservations about some of these recommendations, on which they are working. They will present me with their final recommendations as to what should happen. I have asked them to speed up the process and contact me as quickly as possible.
