Since my appointment as Minister for Defence, earlier this year, I have met with representatives from RACO and PDFORRA on two occasions. On 17 July 2020, I met officials from both RACO and PDFORRA in Cork. Just last month, I met again with RACO and PDFORRA officials in Dublin on the 20 October 2020.
A meeting with RDFRA which was scheduled was unavoidably postponed. I have instructed my officials to reschedule a meeting with RDFRA at the earliest opportunity.
I look forward to continued positive engagement with the representative associations for members of the Defence Forces.
