Michael Moynihan
Question:61 Mr. Moynihan asked the Minister for Defence if he will outline whether medical inspections are now required to be undertaken prior to enlistment in the reserve; whether this was the practice last year; the reason for the change in policy; if he will outline by whom these medical inspections are being made; whether there is any delay in the Eastern or Western Commands in the attestation of recruits due to the lack of notification of such procedures to unit and sub-unit commanders; whether reserve units which are remote from a medical hospital company are disadvantaged in expeditious processing of recruits; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
