I wish to ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if he will provide a report on the Air Corps recommissioning scheme and make a statement on the matter. There is considerable concern within the Defence Forces regarding this scheme which the Government seems to have designed and created without much collaboration with or agreement from the representative organisations. Those organisations are considerably concerned that it has exacerbated the retention crisis within the Air Corps, where there is a growing element of contagion. On what basis was the scheme designed? I ask the Minister of State to provide a report on the matter.
