Defence Forces Representative Organisations
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-17
============================================================

Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

Representative bodies in the Defence Forces will be part of public sector pay talks. They are just like they were in the last round. There was a time when they were not and that was wrong. That has subsequently been addressed.
My job is to make sure their case is heard and they have a platform to make that case as part of the public sector pay talks. I do not have a closed mind on the question of affiliation to ICTU.
