I am advised by the Military Authorities that the level of recruitment into the Reserve Defence Force between 1 January and 31 January 2010, the latest date for which figures are available, was twenty two (22) personnel.
Limited recruitment to fill vacancies arising due to existing Reserve members resigning, or being discharged in the normal manner, is continuing, subject to the strength level which existed at 1 January 2009 not being exceeded, and will be monitored and kept under review in the light of the uptake of paid training within the RDF and future budgetary provisions.
