asked the Minister for Defence if he will give full details of the recently announced pay increases; how they differ from the figures given in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 194 of 12 March 1981; if they apply to all members of the Defence Forces; if provision is made in the current Estimates for (a) these increases and (b) the increase in allowances announced on 11 March 1981.
Written Answers. - Pay Increases.
177.
Details of the increase are still being worked out. The information sought by the Deputy will be forwarded to him as soon as it is available.
The particular information sought by the Deputy in regard to specific provisions in the Estimates for 1981 can more appropriately be dealt with when the Estimates for my Department come before the Dáil.
