Tom Shehan (Fine Gael)

Will the Minister for Defence attend the House to explain the lack of delivery of legal services in the Defence Forces? An average of 14 to 16 courts martial are held within the Defence Forces each year. However, no courts martial have been held for over a year. I am of the opinion, therefore, that a reshuffle is required within the legal services of the Defence Forces and I ask that the Minister appear before the House to discuss the matter.
