I want to return to what is one of the more disappointing developments in the history of the Defence Forces, particularly its contemporary history.

This is the decision to withdraw members from the UNDOF peacekeeping mission in the Golan Heights. I would appreciate it if the Tánaiste would outline the current timeframe for the withdrawal of the infantry group from this mission and the number of Defence Forces personnel who will remain posted to the mission thereafter. I again ask whether there will be a reconsideration of the decision to withdraw.
