Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024) Verona Murphy: I would not think it is because, reading the report, 80% of employees are in the €20,000 to €60,000 pay scale bracket. Is it any wonder we are haemorrhaging people out of the Defence Forces? Has that been looked at? Has a retention mechanism been looked at? A total of €9.9 million, if I am correct, was given back in Vote 36. Where can the dots not be joined on...

Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024) Verona Murphy: Accumulated, that is a little over 20%. The current structure tells me that there are 7,752 members, with a recommended staffing level of 11,500. How in God's name does the Department expect to recruit approximately 4,000 staff when current staff cannot be retained? Ms McCrum is not a foolish woman - I would not think so, given the position she is in. The efforts regarding current...

Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024) Verona Murphy: If we have more than that, why was only one available when we needed to tackle a serious drugs issue on our waters? One was available which, I believe, had to be stripped down before it could go on the mission. It had no cover. One chopper was sent out, which made a very risky situation even riskier. How many helicopters are there?

Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024) Verona Murphy: Ms McCrum is the Secretary General of the Department. I asked a simple question. It is not the first time it has been asked. Why was there no cover for the personnel who risked life and limb to go out and do that mission last year?

Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024) Verona Murphy: I would say they had no choice if many of the others were dismantled for maintenance, which we no longer do because we cannot recruit the staff or retain the ones we have. Is that a fair assessment?

Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024) Verona Murphy: It is very important. Are we dependent on outsourced maintenance and that keeps our helicopters on the ground? Effectively, that runs the risk of life and limb of the personnel doing the job so badly required of controlling our waters from a drugs perspective. That particular incident yielded more than €6 million worth of drugs - it was actually €600 million, if I am not...
