Has this matter been discussed at Cabinet level in view of the fact that people taking up this kind of work on a double jobbing basis are interfering with the prospects of work for other people, and are obviously having an effect on the employment figures and the targets set by the Government for employment?

(Limerick West): As I have already outlined to the Deputy certain guidelines are laid down. They are engaging and availing of the right held by other members of the community at large. That is the position as I see it.

Does the Minister have any concern regarding this problem? If he has, would he be agreeable to have a review of the present situation, having regard to reports that the phenomenon of double jobbing is increasing substantially out of necessity? Recruits are being sought after by private interests to maintain aircraft, to cater at race meetings and engage in many other activities which seem to be increasing on a weekly basis. Would the Minister be prepared to review the matter at departmental level and report to the Dáil?

(Limerick West): Of course the Minister is concerned and, of course, the situation is reviewed on an ongoing basis. As I have said, the restrictions which are placed on off-duty employment under Defence Force Regulation A.7 are regularly brought to the notice of all serving personnel through the medium of the unit routine orders.
