Obviously, I do not agree with the Minister. Would he agree it is fair that Army generals - under his proposals, not ours - will lose 14% while Army privates lose 6%? Does he accept it is fair that - under his arrangements, not ours - new recruits to the Defence Forces will enter at reduced salary scales, unlike the arrangements that appear to have been arrived at for teachers and possibly for nurses?
