I ask the Minister for a breakdown of his plans for new recruitment in the Defence Forces, including the Permanent Defence Force, Reserve Defence Force, Air Corps and Naval Service. Are there any plans for new apprentices and agency staff? Can he also comment on revising the 21-year limit for members of the Defence Forces who are willing and able to continue in service?
