Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: This is about solutions and those solutions were provided by the commission 12 months ago. The Government responded with its analysis of the commission's recommendations seven months ago, in July of last year, and there is still a massive haemorrhaging of members of the Defence Forces. There is a lack of willingness, as far as I can see, to fully implement all of the commission's...

John Brady: The practice that was allowed to develop over many years whereby the Department was forced to rely on the inability to reach the establishment figure was an inbuilt reliance on failure to plug gaps and shortcomings in funding for other elements and areas within the Defence Forces. It spoke of a lack of ambition and desire to address the chronic haemorrhaging of members of the Defence Forces....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: Unfortunately, I must disagree with the Tánaiste again. There is a lack of urgency.

John Brady: The Minister has come in here and said he is only a month in the job. I hate to remind him that he has been Taoiseach over the past two years.

He said that of the 38 early actions, two thirds have been implemented, as if...
