I thank the Tánaiste for the comprehensive nature of his reply. By way of supplementary question, if he is satisfied with the progress to date regarding the changes deemed to be necessary within the Defence Forces, to what extent does he think the proposed changes are accepted within the Defence Forces? Given the necessity to deal with such issues in the shortest possible time, and in order to stamp out any acceptance of the kind of things that went on, which the Tánaiste has already referred to in the reply, to what extent does he now expect to achieve all the objectives identified and to have them fully and finally resolved?
