Has it been brought to the attention of the Minister of State that a naval vessel could not be put to sea because there was no engineering officer available? Is it true that there are 38 officer staff vacancies in the Naval Service? If the Minister of State does not have this information to hand, he might be able to send it to me on another occasion.
