Minister for Defence (Mr. O’Dea)

Officers of the Reserve Defence Force are not used in the enlistment interview process of personnel into the Permanent Defence Force. There can, from time to time, be situations where reserve officers can have a command relationship with Permanent Defence Force personnel.
