Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I hope the review will be finished shortly and that it will give us an opportunity to consider any changes that need to be effected. I see the Reserve as an important part of the Defence Forces and look forward to its continued involvement in the Defence Forces. Some of the plans previously put in place did not work in practice and some aspects had to be postponed. The review will provide a new perspective on the activities conducive to the Reserve. I look forward to its continued engagement in the Defence Forces. Written Answers follow Adjournment Debate.
