Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy must bear in mind that pilot retention was specifically highlighted by the pay commission as an area that needed to be addressed and that has been done. A pilot retention scheme was recently accepted by the RACO. We are in a position to improve the ability of the Defence Forces to retain staff, particularly in the crucial area to which the Deputy refers. Improvements are also being made in other areas under the recommendations of the pay commission for the Army.
