PDForra tells Oireachtas Committee Govt refusing to pay troops back pay owed to them since 2010

The Government is sending Ireland's elite troops to "one of the most dangerous places in the world" but is refusing to pay them increased allowances agreed by independent arbitration in 2010.

Millions of euro are owed to the elite Army Ranger Wing (ARW), chefs and some specialist technicians following the ruling, which the Department of Defence has refused to abide by.
