Under the Conciliation and Arbitration Scheme it is open to the Representative Associations to submit claims to the Official side in relation to matters falling within the C&A scheme. Generally claims relate to pay and conditions, award of allowances etc. These claims are subject to negotiations and where agreement is not reached it is open to both sides to seek the assistance of an adjudicator to settle the matter. There have been a number of Adjudications in 2015 and 2016 and in no case were the findings of the Adjudicator not accepted.

In relation to the data sought concerning the findings of the Workplace Relations Commission, the Department, with the assistance of the military authorities, is compiling the data sought by the Deputy and same will be forwarded when available.
