Mark Wall (Labour) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Tánaiste for the reply. I have two questions. He mentioned that this is a direct result of the commission report. Can he confirm today that there are no changes from what the commission report outlined in the command and control structure that was discussed at Cabinet yesterday or whether there are changes from the commission report?

The second issue relates to timeframes. This is very important given everything that is going on in the Defence Forces at the moment. When does the Tánaiste expect that the Bill to change the 1954 Act may come before the Oireachtas? Can he give us any timeframes in that regard?
