Written answers

Minister for Defence (Deputy Alan Shatter)

The personnel of the Defence Organisation comprise members of the Defence Forces, civilian employees and civil servants. The role of those personnel is to work together as an integrated team to provide the full range of defence outputs as laid down by Government. Given the wide variety of tasks performed by staff, it is not possible to categorise staff into categories as requested.
