Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am very anxious to get this work out into the public so I hope we can have a very comprehensive debate on the back of more than 12 months of work from a commission on the future of the Defence Forces that has an extraordinary amount of experience and knowledge to contribute to the debate. I hope to be in a position to publish the report and recommendations on the Commission on the Defence Forces next week. That has not yet been finalised but it is certainly the hope.
