Defence Forces: Motion [Private Members]
4:15 pm
Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
There are 66 members of the Defence Forces and 58 public servants in the Department in receipt of that payment. I know other Deputies may want to raise the matter in the debate. If the Deputy wanted to find out the figure, he should have tabled a parliamentary question to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. The Deputies are shocked and horrified but that number came from the Department and I did not pluck it from the air. When the Deputies are meeting people, perhaps they can give them the correct figure.
