Review of military pay

Summary

Joyce proposed a review body to compare military pay with rates in other EEC countries. Tully said Irish Army pay was linked to civilian pay and a review body would serve no useful purpose.

A review body should be set up to examine military pay in view of increases in other EEC countries. Our Army should be paid an equivalent rate. Would the Minister agree that such a review body should be set up?

Comment on this

Army rates of pay here are related to the pay of civilians and not of armies in other countries. Such a review body would serve no useful purpose.
