Written answers

Taoiseach and Minister for Defence

I can confirm that I am satisfied that data required in the context of the operation of the Department of Defence are collected to the required level. As the Department of Defence is not involved in North/South engagement there are no plans to work with the administration in Northern Ireland to develop the collection of such data on a North/South basis.
