Reserve Defence Forces recruitment


To ask the Minister for Defence the number recruited to the Reserve Defence Forces to date in 2009; the number of potential recruits in the enlistment process prior to 27 March 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY

The Government introduced a moratorium on recruitment to the Public Service with effect from 27th March 2009. In this context and given the reduced budgetary provision available for 2009, recruitment to the Reserve Defence Force has been suspended for the present.

I am advised by the military authorities that the number of recruit enlistments to the Reserve Defence Forces in 2009 prior to the moratorium was 232 and the estimated number of potential recruits in the RDF processing system prior to 27 March 2009 was 1,254.
