I assume that the Deputy is referring to the study undertaken by Price Waterhouse Consultants on behalf of the Efficiency Audit Group (EAG). Following consideration of the EAG's report the Government published the summary document Review of the Defence Forces in July 1995.
In that document the Government indicated its acceptance of the broad conclusions of the EAG and established an implementation group, chaired by Mr. A. D. Barry, chairman of the EAG, to prepare a fully costed development plan for the Defence Forces setting out the detailed measures to be undertaken during the first three years of the reform process. I expect to receive this plan within the next few days.
