There are currently no outstanding posts identified for civilianisation in the Defence Forces.
Civilianisation was addressed in the "Review of Implementation of the White Paper on Defence", published by the Minister in April 2007. The Review noted some areas where civilianisation of military posts had been successfully implemented in the past and recommended that further work be done in this area. Subsequent to the publication of the Review, civilianisation was incorporated into the "Pay Agreement and Modernisation Agenda" agreed with the Defence Forces Representative Associations in the context of the Towards 2016 Partnership Agreement.
The matter will be progressed by the Department and the military authorities on the basis of the above developments and of the Programme for Government.
