Written Answers. - FCA Pay Increase.

Bernard Allen

Question:

194 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Defence if his attention has been drawn to the fact that FCA officers were not paid arrears for the increase granted in 1991 to PDF officers, when they attended annual training this year, despite his earlier assurance; and if he will now instruct his Department to immediately pay this money to those entitled to receive it, as it is now 14 months overdue.

Minister for Defence (Mr. Andrews)

The pay increase due under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress in respect of 1991 was paid to officers of An Forsa Costanta Aitiúil when they attended annual training during 1992.

Any officers not already paid will receive the arrears when next they report for annual training.
