Retained firefighters provide fire and first responder emergency services 24-7 to our communities. I thank County Wexford members for their unwavering dedication to their job. Their recent industrial action has successfully led to an agreement on improved conditions, improved rosters and a guaranteed minimum incremental retention income of €18,000, along with an increase in the number of recruits. Will the Taoiseach give a fixed date for when the retained firefighters will be paid their promised incremental retention income? When will the recruitment be completed? Will it be this year?
