Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will answer Deputy Broughan first. He will receive a comprehensive reply that will answer all of his questions.

Deputy Chambers spoke about the report that went from military management and the civil submission that went to the pay commission. Nobody was muscled in any way. In actual fact, the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces had an opportunity to address the pay commission. He had the opportunity to say whatever he wanted to the pay commission. I arranged that through the independent pay commission to allow it. There was nobody muscled in any way.
