Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Retention of Defence Forces Personnel: Discussion with Representative Association of Commissioned Officers
Mr. Conor King:
We have spoken about our industrial relations status and that strike action and withdrawal of labour are not compatible with military service. The European Court of Justice has ruled on that. It is not compatible with military service to take to the streets or withdraw labour and it is not something that sits comfortably with the members of RACO. My colleague, Mr. Derek Priestley, might like to comment further on this issue.
