Will the Minister of State give the Dáil up-to-date details of the planned purchase of a multi-role naval vessel at a cost of €200 million? I ask this question in view of the totally inadequate pay, allowances and conditions of employment of Defence Forces personnel and the retention and recruitment crisis affecting all areas of the Defence Forces - the Army, the Air Corps and the Naval Service.
