Question:270 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for Defence if it is intended to encourage more women to join the Army School of Music. [7602/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 269 and 270 together.
All appointments in the Army School of Music and in the Army bands are open to men and women on an equal basis. At present one female officer holds an appointment as an instructor in the Army School of Music and four females are serving in the Army bands.
