Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-30
============================================================

John Brady (SF), Wicklow

There are many issues facing members of the Defence Forces that are leading to what can be only described as an exodus of members. These have been widely articulated by representative bodies such as PDFORRA and the Representative Association of Commissioned Officers, RACO, and they include issues such as post-1994 contracts and the working time directive. I ask the Minister to update me on the full implementation of the working time directive.
