Army ranger allowance review in limbo after 12 years

PDForra general secretary Gerard Guinan said that members of the ARW are willing to go into any hotspot and do their duty but they are treated abysmally when it comes to their allowances.

Members of the elite Army Ranger Wing (ARW), who were praised for getting Irish citizens safely out of Afghanistan, are still being denied an upward review of their allowances, 12 years after it was recommended.

Under the 2010 adjudication decision the ARW was entitled to allowance reviews in 2014, 2017, and 2020, but they never materialised.
