Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 February 2010
171 Deputy John Cregan asked the Minister for Defence if he will ensure that an issue relating to the single men living on rations payment will be resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8541/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraA claim has been received from the Permanent Defence Force Other Ranks Representative Association (PDFORRA) in relation to this matter. In accordance with normal procedures the Association's claim is being dealt with under the Conciliation and Arbitration Scheme (C&A Scheme) for members of the Permanent Defence Force and is 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.
