I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. This is a question I have raised on numerous occasions over the past number of years, namely, the equipping of the Defence Forces. Does the Minister of State see an opportunity in the context of the discussions now taking place to modernise our Defence Forces and their equipment at all levels in a way that is required in order to bring them up to international best practice and standards?
