The Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association submitted a claim in relation to Instructor Allowance for six personnel serving in instructor appointments, Transport Coy 1 LSB. The claim has been dealt with at Conciliation Council and following discussions it was the subject of a disagreed report under the Conciliation and Arbitration Scheme. The Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association sought adjudication on this issue on the 5th April 2011. The Deputy will appreciate that as discussions under the C & A scheme are confidential to the parties involved it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on this matter.
