View answerThe Programme for Government provides for the establishment of an independent Commission on the Defence Forces.
The Commission is to be established before the end of this year, with a mandate to report within twelve months. Planning for the Commission is in early stages and no decisions have yet been taken to date on its membership.
I am working to ensure that the Commission is established as early as possible before the end of this year.
