Committee on Defence and National Security

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Conor King:

Yes, that is what happened. We pointed that out in writing and received no response. There may have been an amended service commitment scheme. I hope there has been. The Department and also military management were before the committee talking about it recently. There are still members of the Defence Forces in air traffic control who are excluded from the scheme. I refer to those who are considering retirement. Therefore, despite the Tánaiste's strenuous efforts in getting it across the line, it is still not fully fit for purpose. We have not seen the new terms and conditions of the air traffic control service commitment scheme.
