Officers’ group expresses ‘alarm’ over pay row
The commissioning ceremony, which took place at the Defence Forces Training Centre in the Curragh, consisted of 68 new army officers and two in the Air Corps. The Defence Forces also trained eight Maltese officers who graduated yesterday.
RACO, the organisation which represents officers across the Defence Forces, said it welcomed the new personnel but was quick to point out that recruitment still isn’t impacting on the numbers of officers leaving because of poor pay and conditions.
