Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2018
113. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the progress of the investigation into the issuing of a directive on 3 October 2018 informing members of the Naval Service that the 72 hour notice period for members going to sea was being scrapped; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41769/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe military authorities have advised me that an email which indicated a change in the 72 hour notice period for members going to sea was issued in error and without the approval of the Flag Officer Commanding Naval Service (FOCNS). The email was rescinded on the same day.
I am further advised that the FOCNS is satisfied that this matter does not require any further investigation.
