Soldiers’ wives to protest outside TD offices

A newly-formed organisation is planning a series of nationwide protests outside constituency offices of government TDs to highlight the poor pay and conditions being endured by frontline members of the Defence Forces.

Wives & Partners of the Defence Forces (WPDF) have already lobbied a number of TDs in pursuit of better pay and conditions.

It expects in the next six weeks to mount protests as it ratchets up the campaign.
