Vol. 440 No. 4

Written Answers. - Defence Forces Overseas Service.

Noel Ahern

Ceist:

223 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Defence if he will make a statement on reports that members of the Defence Forces working in the Ordnance Survey office are being discriminated against for serving as United Nations personnel overseas, that is, they are being asked to sign in advance of departure that their job may not be available on their return and that others after their return are being left idle while civilians do their work on overtime.

The present situation is that any member of the military survey company who has come back from overseas service has been returned to his previous position in the Ordnance Survey. This arrangement will remain pending a review of the military staffing arrangements within the Ordnance Survey in the context of the current review of the Permanent Defence Force by the efficiency audit group.
