Vol. 196 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Army Mechanisation.

68.

asked the Minister for Defence what percentage of the Army is mechanised in conformity with modern defence standards.

There is no generally accepted standard by which the proportion of mechanised units to overall army strength is determined. This matter is decided by each country in relation to its own terrain and other circumstances. In any event, it would not be in the public interest to disclose details of the mechanised units in Óglaigh na hÉireann.
