David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

I have two brief questions for the Minister. With regard to the Reserve Defence Force, how much does the Minister envisage he will save by stopping recruitment in a full year for the forces and cadets? He indicated this was a cost-saving measure. Will the recruitment embargo in the Reserve Defence Force have a knock-on effect on training camps in the current year? Will there be a reduction in the number of man days at camps? Will he provide details of this?
