View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 837, 838 and 840 together.
The Deputy will recall that these issues were raised during oral parliamentary questions on 15 February 2017. In my reply, I advised the Deputy that I would make enquiries with the military authorities. I have since written to the Chief of Staff in this regard and, I will revert to the Deputy in due course.
