I will ask those who have supplied me with the information to provide the examples. However, sometimes there is a concern that if a problem is highlighted it might lead to victimisation.

One issue the members have requested that the Minister of State might address is that the duty and sea-going allowances be fully restored to the previous rate, from €20 to €75 for a 24-hour period. Has the Minister of State committed to a review of the Defence Forces pay and conditions, in particular the allowances, to ascertain whether they are appropriate for this day and age? Has the Minister of State managed to meet the WPDF group? They are in a much better position than I am to explain exactly how the families of the Defence Forces members have to survive when their loved one is at sea or deployed overseas.
