Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Current Issues Facing Members of the Defence Forces: Representative Association of Commissioned Officers

Ms Amy Colclough:

We have a time and attendance system. We can record who is in on a daily basis, but how many hours are worked on a certain day is not something that is being recorded. We cannot define what a working week is because with duties that is 24 hours straight off the bat. The chances are someone is going over 37 hours if he or she does one duty a week. Most privates are on at least one a week. We are recording that they did that 24-hour duty but our system does not record how many hours they worked that week.
