"Army pensioners issue in Dáil," says Deputy Paul McGrath
Deputy Paul McGrath raised the issue of the inclusion of the military service allowance for retired army pensioners at Question Time in the Dáil.
"A strong case has been made to eliminate the serious anomaly which exists whereby members of the Defence Forces who retired between 1974 and 1990 are paid pensions at a much reduced rate to their colleagues who retired later," says Deputy McGrath.
"The Minister’s response is very disappointing and I hope that this Fianna Fáil led Government will honour the commitment given by Fianna Fáil in 1997 that this anomaly would be eliminated," says McGrath.
