Patrick McCartan
Ceist:68 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Defence the reason the majority of the 30 female recruits taken into the Army in April 1990 are to be allocated work as grooms to the equestrian section; when a further intake of female recruits will take place and the number involved; if adequate regard will be given to those applicants with talents other than stable or equestrian experience; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
