Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

Has the Minister any intention of introducing legislation such as that in the UK where the jobs of people who are members of the reserve and who decide to travel on missions such as Kosovo are guaranteed? Has the Minister made any progress on developing the first line reserve? If we had a first line reserve available, we would have people with previous experience on foreign missions who would be available to become involved in missions such as that in Kosovo.
