Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: White Paper on Defence Update: Discussion (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Since the White Paper was published, I have engaged through a number of parliamentary questions. I find the way the White Paper is laid out strange. There is no harm in it. If one reads through it, one will just about find what the tasks and targets are. The Minister of State mentioned 95. We were originally told it was 88. There is no list within the White Paper itself so sometimes it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: White Paper on Defence Update: Discussion (5 Mar 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: White Paper on Defence Update: Discussion (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is provided when it is available but if it is not available, that suggests there is a shortage that needs to be addressed.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Chairman-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: White Paper on Defence Update: Discussion (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: A point I made was not addressed. When one reads the White Paper, the 88 or 95 projects do not jump out immediately. One must read the whole document, which is fine, but for members of the general public to try to gauge whether we are being successful and whether we are achieving those projects, it would be a useful exercise if they were available with the White Paper or as an appendix or...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Defence (Revised) (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There are a number of areas where the Estimate is below what the outturn was in 2018 or 2017. I find this odd because these are in some of the areas we have been talking about, for example, barracks and engineering in subhead A12. The uniforms and clothing total is just under €2 million below the previous figures. The Defence Forces communication and information technology subhead,...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Defence (Revised) (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Some €4 million is a substantial increase between the two Estimates. I am not querying it but it is odd because I had presumed that the same level of activity within the Naval Service would lead to similar costs. If there had been a small drop on a continuous basis-----

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Defence (Revised) (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The chaplaincy and clergymen provide a valuable service that helps many of those who may be in distress. There is an increase in the Estimate despite there being the same number of chaplains. It seems odd but it might relate to the pay rates or pay grades.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Defence (Revised) (5 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I wish to ask a question on policy. The Defence Forces outsource some medical services because of the need for consultants. In the past, some soldiers would not go to the Army doctor because part of the duty of that doctor was to report soldiers as unfit. Does an outside consultant or doctor have the same duties to report to the Army that a soldier may be unfit? This has arisen when...
