Deputy,
We are seeking a deferral on this.
Our colleagues in the Defence Forces Press Office need some more time to confirm a correct response from the Editor of publication.
It has therefore not been possible to provide the required information within the timeframe available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to the above-referenced Parliamentary Question and my original reply stating that it was not possible to provide the required information within the timeframe available. I am now in a position to do so. Please be advised that the online platform on which all editions of An Cosantoir were previously available, dfmagazine.ie, is now obsolete.
Work is ongoing on migrating these editions to military.ie and it is planned that the migration will be completed by the end of this year.
