That will do. There is an issue with the pandemic bonus being paid to retired members of the Defence Forces. I spoke to one medic who had carried out his duties in vaccination centres and swab testing centres who retired during the Covid pandemic. He has yet to receive the bonus. I would appreciate if the Minister could come back to me with what the plan is to address this. The Defence Forces cannot process it as he is no longer on their payroll.
