The Deputy may have missed an earlier answer to this. I have progressed this. I have got agreement with the defence representative organisations on an agreed military management position following discussions. It has been sent to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The legislative process has commenced. I made it a priority when I became Minister for Defence to introduce the working time directive to the Defence Forces. I am determined that we complete this now. The process of legislation has commenced. Officials in the Department of enterprise are working on this. I look forward to its completion.
