Arising from Government changes that occurred on the 14 June last, a draft Strategy Statement for the Department of Defence and the Defence Forces, covering the period 2017 to 2020, must be prepared and submitted to the Minister for Defence no later than the 14 December next.

Work on preparing a draft Strategy Statement is currently underway and, following Ministerial approval, it will be laid before each House of the Oireachtas and published on my Department’s website.
