Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 April 2008
24 Deputy Jimmy Deenihan asked the Minister for Defence if a claim for an increase on overseas allowance submitted by PDFORRA has been agreed by his Department and the representatives association under the C and A schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13519/08]
View answerA claim for an increase in Overseas Allowance was received from the Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative under the Conciliation and Arbitration Scheme (C&A scheme) for members of the Permanent Defence Force. The claim has been the subject of correspondence between the Department and the Representative Association. The Deputy will appreciate that as discussions under the C&A scheme are confidential to the parties involved it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the matter at this time other than to say that the claim will of course have to meet the terms of the Social Partnership Agreement, Towards 2016.
