Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-16
============================================================

Brendan Griffin (FG), Kerry

This question relates to Defence Forces personnel who worked in Covid testing and vaccination centres during the pandemic. Many of these people worked in these centres for 12 to 16 months and provided a very valuable resource but they have not been considered for the pandemic recognition payment. This is wrong. Can the matter be reviewed? Some specific personnel did great work but did not get the payment and that is very unfair.
