I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Berry.

My question concerns the organisational capacity review of the Department of Defence. It has been ongoing for 12 months now. I would be grateful if the Taoiseach could update the House regarding where the review stands now. Is it complete? Is it going to be published? If so, is there an indicative date regarding when it will be published?

An organisational capability review of the Department of Defence has been conducted over the past year by the organisational capability review team based in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It is part of a Civil Service-wide process being overseen by the Civil Service management board. It is, as the Deputy knows, completely separate from the Commission on the Defence Forces. As is the established process in such reviews, the Department will prepare an action plan to address any recommendations made. The report and the action plan will subsequently be brought to the Government and then be published. I do not have a date yet, but I will respond to the Deputy later in that regard.
