As stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No 14 of 17 October 2024, I have requested the Defence Forces to provide information on the functions formally performed by members of the Defence Forces which have been outsourced since 2020. Preliminary data has been prepared, however, further analysis is required before a final answer can be provided. It is hoped to issue a reply to the Deputy in the near future.
