Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence if the Defence Forces general service body armour (GSBA) that is currently in service throughout the Defence Forces, including in overseas missions, was first issued to members in 2006; if, given that these systems degrade overtime, and trials to replace the current system began in 2017, the current GSBA worn by troops overseas is safe; and when deliveries of the new proposed modular body armour system will be delivered to all serving troops domestically and on overseas missions.
