Written answers

The 1 Infantry Battalion Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa Galway will increase its establishment from 318 to 496 as part of the Defence Forces reorganisation. Consequently all personnel currently serving in or attached to the 1 Infantry Battalion will be offered the opportunity to take up appointments in the new establishment. This may require some individuals to change service corps. The position as regards members of the Permanent Defence Force serving as cadre with Reserve Defence Force (RDF) units will be clarified once the outcome of the RDF value for money report has been decided upon.
