The Agreed Programme for Government (June 2007) contains a commitment to fast track the civilianisation of all outstanding agreed posts in the Defence Forces. This issue is also included in the Modernisation Agenda agreed with the Defence Forces Representative Associations in the context of Towards 2016. The matter will be progressed by my department and the military authorities accordingly.
