THE CHAIR OF a Dáil committee has said that TDs are becoming increasingly “frustrated” with the pace of implementation of the action plan for resourcing of the Irish Defence Forces.
It also would require the largest increase in the defence budget in the history of the state, bringing it from €1.1 billion to €1.5 billion by 2028. “Can I convey to you a certain frustration on the part of members, which I’m sure has been evident over the course of this hearing,” he said. “So this is the background of the urgency. And we haven’t at all mentioned the issue of war and conflict and in Europe and the geopolitical instability threats on an active basis on on on European soil.
“Everyone else seemed to be scaling up their defence capability within weeks of the invasion of Ukraine, but we are still moving at the pace of a snail.“If you want a get a parameter in terms of are things improving, look at the headcount. “I have to say I have a concern in respect of the pace of implementation of the Commission of Defence Forces. We’re well over a year now since it was published and I suppose there’s always ways in which you can set out how, how we’re how we’re meeting stated objectives, but there are 38 as early actions and I think the figure we’ve been given is that 80% of them have been implemented or largely implemented.
