Another “farcical” situation has hit the Defence Forces as senior Air Corps officers are being denied the chance of getting allowances they're owed, according to the association which represents Defence Forces officers.

Senior mainly desk-bound officers have been forced to pilot the Emergency Aeromedical Service (EAS) because of a lack of trained junior pilots but have not been given the allowances which come with this task.
