This matter is being progressed through the conciliation and arbitration scheme for members of the Permanent Defence Force. Discussions have taken place with PDFORRA (the Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association) with regard to the claim. The Deputy will appreciate that as discussions under the scheme are confidential to that process, it would be inappropriate for me to make any comment on this claim at this time.
