HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 cc302-3W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the agreement to train in Great Britain women recruits for the Army of the Republic of Ireland.

Mr. Hayhoe

Six places have been reserved for women members of the Army of the Republic of Ireland on British Army training courses starting in 1980. This is in line with our general practice of accepting members of the Armed Forces of other countries for military training courses in the United Kingdom, subject to the availability of places and other criteria.
