The reduction of three percent (3%) in payroll costs will apply to the Defence Forces.
Recruitment to the Defence Forces will be rescheduled in order to stay within the revised allocation. The Defence Forces will continue to undertake the roles laid down for them by Government. The position will be monitored on an ongoing basis during 2009.
