Dáil protest planned over Defence Forces pay

An organisation formed specifically to improve pay and conditions for members of the Defence Forces is planning a major protest march on the Dáil.

Following on from protests at all the country’s military installations last week, members of Wives & Partners of Defence Forces (WPDF) are planning to ratchet up their actions.

A WPDF spokeswoman said the organisation is preparing to hold its first national meeting shortly and will plan a major protest outside the Department of Defence headquarters in Newbridge, Co Kildare.
