If a survey was done in the morning on the issue of the restoration of confidence, is the Minister satisfied we have made enough progress? I fully accept the action taken on this report goes back only to March 2023.

It is a very short timeframe but to get people into the Defence Forces, we need to make sure they are going into a job that they are not concerned about as regards how they will be treated, particularly female members who are joining. Is the Minister satisfied that we are restoring confidence and that by this time next year, for example, we will have made major progress in that whole area?
