This year we will recruit over 700 new Defence Forces members - a 69% increase on our 2023 intake. We’ve turned the corner on recruitment, and I look forward to further progress in the transformation of our Army, Air Corps and Naval Service in the years to come.

Recruitment is one thing. Retention is the problem, particularly for individuals with certain skill sets. What is the overall strength like? Pensions, allowances, technical pay, not forgetting the working time directive, all need attention.

Are ye recruiting in the IPAS centres? Ready-made soldiers just add water and mix.

Since you didn't divulge the information How many resigned? What's the net change?

You showed 🇮🇪 who you really are.

Have they all got UN credit cards and phones? Are they housed in barracks and billets around the country. Are they primed to suppress the rights and will of the Irish people? Them lads? The mercenaries?

@donlav And what about modern equipment ? What about urgency ? What about facing the reality of war in Europe. ??????????? 🇮🇪

Irish? Or mercenary?

Recruitment is only one part of the solution. The lack of action in retaining personnel, especially those with the skill sets required to maintain operational effectiveness, is more worrying. Couple this with the total lack of urgency in resourcing those who defend the nation.

What about those who ‘left’ due to #harassment for being #sick and highlighting why they were sick? Or those who died or are still suffering due to #toxic #chemical #exposure? Remember the people you promised to help in 2017? #IrishAirCorps #DelayDenyDie #110Dead

We’re gonna need everyone of them when the Jihadi sleepers get the wake up call 😳
