asked the Minister for Defence if he intends to commemorate this year the 25th anniversary of the formation of the FCA in view of their invaluable service.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - FCA Anniversary.
127.
Yes. Details of the commemoration and the date on which it will be held will be announced in due course.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary not agree that one way in which the anniversary might be marked would be by the issue of a new type of uniform? This has been promised to the FCA for a long time.
That is a separate question.
The Leas-Cheann Comhairle has pointed out that this is a separate question but it is fair to say, having regard to the standard the FCA have set throughout their history that anything we can do for them we should do. I accept the Deputy's point of view and if the dress is not up to standard it should be brought up to standard.
