Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not a crisis if one looks at recruitment in previous years. While 2016 was a very disappointing year, I am willing and want to correct the position we are in. I have my own thoughts about the single force concept. I will bring those forward. I assure the Deputy that I am working with the military to resolve the recruitment issue.
