Dinny McGinley
Ceist:44 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Defence the number of personnel enlisted in the FCA and Slua Muirí by month and brigade since 1 October 2003; the number of persons who have presented for enlistment in the FCA and Slua Muirí and been examined for hearing in the Military Hospital, Dublin, since 1 November 2003 by month; the number of persons who have presented for enlistment in the FCA and Slua Muirí who can be examined in that hospital each month in respect of hearing to July 2004; if his attention has been drawn to the considerable disquiet that has been expressed at the lack of processing ability at that institution in respect of hearing tests, not only for those who have presented for enlistment, but for those who currently await their periodic examination as serving members in the FCA and Slua Muirí in the eastern brigade, and the consequent reduction in enlistment to those Forces in 2004; the proposals to meet the problems that exist in respect of hearing examinations; and if he will make a statement on the implementation of proposals to address the evident difficulties that exist at the military hospital.
