[52736/17]

Other Questions: Defence Forces Expenditure (12 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: There is a contradiction in the Minister of State's answer. On the one hand, he states the budget will not increase but then he states it will be increasing anyway and it will be covered as part of that. It is a simple fact that the notification to which we signed up last week, thanks to Fine Gael and its friends in the Independent Alliance and Fianna Fáil specifically has the...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Expenditure (12 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State is completely wrong. The Irish people voted again in the Lisbon treaty when they got the answer wrong the first time. To baldly state that this issue has been discussed in Irish society is simply wrong. There has hardly been a single article in the press or any coverage in the media at all. If one were to randomly stop people on the street, even people who are...

Nobody seems to know what the rules...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Pensions (12 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: There has correctly been much talk recently about the pay and conditions of Defence Forces personnel, but I wish to raise the issue of the Defence Forces pension system, which is a total mess. Rules which have been changed over the austerity years are simply having a brutal impact on retired members. Those who entered the Defence Forces as officers from 2013 and who will have no choice but...

Other Questions: Defence Forces Pensions (12 Dec 2017)

Clare Daly: I ask the Minister of State to take a look at this issue. Defence Forces pensions are not like Civil Service pensions; they are a completely different category altogether. Subjecting them to the same rules and regulations, which are being applied in a very slapdash manner, is not helpful for people who loyally serve this State. We are talking about people retiring - being forced to retire...
