Survey finds 'goodwill' of Defence Forces officers is exhausted

A new survey suggests the majority of officers in the Irish Defence Forces want an overhaul of pay and working conditions.

A survey by the Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (Raco) has found more “push factors than pull factors” for officers in the Defence Forces.

The survey is an attempt to identify issues leading to early retirement and make recommendations to ensure a better life for Ireland’s military.
