I wish Brigadier General Gerald Aherne success. He is currently leading that mission. We were told last month that the EU was planning to gradually move the mission's training activities from Uganda to Mogadishu. There was a growing sense that it was a safe initiative to take. Can the Minister of State provide an update on whether it is going ahead? What criteria do the Defence Forces have for making that decision? Does the Department consider, at this point, it constitutes an acceptable level of risk for the training operation to take up a base near Mogadishu?
