Pay and conditions for women in the Army

Summary

The Minister said women and men would have the same pay and related conditions because their military-service liability would be undifferentiated; O'Leary challenged whether this fulfilled an election promise.

Michael O'Leary Mr. M. O'Leary Labour Party

asked the Minister for Defence if the salaries and conditions for women recruited into the Army will be the same as those of male personnel.

As the liability for military service will be undifferentiated in the case of male and female members of the Defence Forces it is the intention that their rates of pay and related conditions of service will be the same.
