Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 May 2024)

Robert Troy: I looked back on statements that took place in the House in February of last year, when we discussed the migration challenges and the crisis that we face. Those who spoke on that occasion all referred to asylum system that is fair, efficient and incorruptible. Much of what the Government is doing now, with the implementation of the Dublin Convention, working to return people to the UK,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (16 May 2024)

Robert Troy: The Tánaiste will remember that the last time he visited Custume Barracks he met with me and councillors Keena and O'Rourke, who put a strong case for considering Athlone as the future Army headquarters.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (16 May 2024)

Robert Troy: The Tánaiste mentioned a target for Defence Forces strength of 11,500 by 2028. The current figure is 7,500 and we are, I am told, losing 50 personnel net per month. Critical to reaching our 2028 target is having an Army that is regionally disposed to aid retention and facilitate recruitment. I would argue a decision needs to be taken relatively quickly to ensure we meet the stated...

Robert Troy: I thank the Minister for that comprehensive reply. Nobody can doubt her commitment to rural Ireland, that is for sure. I have a few questions I ask her to clarify. The funding that was announced covers 2024 and 2025, but it specifies exactly how much can be spent in each of those years. The requirement to have two herds has been reduced to one herd, but it also says that there must be a...
