The military authorities have advised that a total of seventy-two (72) of visits were conducted in the school year 2008/2009. The Defence Forces provides Careers Teams to second level schools and colleges on request. Additional visits are organised by the Defence Forces to facilitate the organisation's recruitment needs. In this regard, the implementation of the savings measures in public service numbers has led to fewer visits than usual being conducted this year.
