asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that Mr. Hennessy, range warden, Youghal, is in receipt of only £2 11s. 0d. weekly; and, if so, if he will increase his wages to enable him to support his wife and nine children.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Range Warden's Wages.
The range warden at Youghal is paid at the weekly rate of £2. 13s. 6d. The question of the revision of his rate of pay is at present under consideration.
Would the Minister state if there is any hope in the near future that the warden will get an increase? I think at the moment he is the lowest paid official under the Minister's control.
The matter is under consideration and we shall leave it at that for the moment.
