Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

Can the Minister assure us that the issue of the appointment of a director of the Reserve Defence Forces will be part of the discussions on the White Paper, which is in preparation, and the value for money review? In the context of achieving value for money, it could best be achieved if members of the reserve were happy in terms of from where the director of the reserve is appointed, which would improve morale. It is now very low, if not at all time low.
