In this question, which is of great importance to serving members of the Defence Forces, I seek to identify what action the Minister is in a position to take at this point with regard to the 21 year contract for serving members of the Defence Forces. It is tabled in the context of clarification provided to the House by the Minister's predecessor prior to his rather hasty departure from the Department in which he indicated that a special sub-committee to investigate the 21 year rule had been established as part of the conciliation process.
