Vol. 191 No. 11

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Extension of Army Service.

44.

asked the Minister for Defence whether he will authorise the extension of army service by two years in respect of n.c.o.s and men who have pre-truce I.R.A. service and have been awarded service medals.

It is already provided in Defence Force Regulations that a non-commissioned officer or private of the Permanent Defence Force who has been awarded the 1916 Medal and/or the Service (1917-1921) Medal may be continued in service for such periods as will make up a total of thirty-three years' service, as against thirty-one years' service in the case of personnel who were not awarded either of these medals.
