I appreciate the comments of the Army officers' association, RACO, which has expressed concern about the level of medical backup for troops who are being sent on a peace mission to Liberia in west Africa. It states that it wants more information about medical services in what it describes as an inherently dangerous situation in Liberia. I welcome the Minister's statement that the demands of RACO have been complied with. I know his commitment to the Defence Forces. If more is required he will not be found wanting. When money was scarce in the past the Minister found ways of providing facilities and equipment for our armed forces. He disposed of surplus land that had lain idle for many years to ensure that the Defence Forces were not left short when extra equipment and facilities were required. I compliment him on his work as Minister.
