On 10 October 2007, the Minister for Defence, addressed the Annual Delegate Conference of the Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association (PDFORRA). The Minister's address was relevant, positive and informative and discussed topics of interest to the military delegates, their colleagues and to the wider community. Those topics included the Government's commitment to the continued development and modernisation of the Defence Forces as set out in the agreed Programme for Government, the Defence Forces continued participation in international peacekeeping, the continued investment in infrastructure and equipment, recruitment and promotional opportunities.

The Deputies interest in the Minister's speech is appreciated and it can be accessed from the Department of Defence website — www.defence.ie.
