I want to ask the Minister if he has considered a retention payment to encourage personnel to remain in the Naval Service, given the fact that there is an issue with the number of personnel. As part of that, has he looked at the single pension scheme which, RACO told us today, seems to be the trigger for a lot of people leaving the Defence Forces? Has he considered a specialised instructors allowance in order to retain people in the Naval Service?
