Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 November 2015
97. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Defence further to the replies to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 111 of 8 July 2015 and 156 of 15 July 2015, wherein he states that he will write to the Deputy when the information is to hand, the reason this information has not been received to date. [39670/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer to Parliamentary Question No. 111 of 8 July 2015 (PQ 27759/15). I regret the delay in responding. As the Deputy will appreciate the information sought has required a considerable amount of manual checking of the medical files.
A total of 60 personnel have served overseas in sub-Saharan Africa this year to July 2015. Fifty three of the medical file reviews are completed and a further seven are ongoing. I wish to await the outcome of the full file reviews and will revert to the Deputy with the full information when this is completed.
