Picket at TDs’ offices over Defence Forces pay

Former members of the Defence Forces and a lobby group are combining to picket all TDs’ offices this Saturday to highlight the poor pay and conditions being endured by serving soldiers, sailors and aircrews.

Those behind a march on the Dáil last September are calling on retired servicemen and women and families of serving members to picket constituency offices of TDs from all political parties from 10.30am to 12.30pm that day.
