856. Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence his views on whether the potential forced retirement of relatively young post-1994 recruited privates and corporals who have served 21 years, while sergeants and senior officers are permitted to continue, is discrimination; if a cost-benefit assessment has been done on the loss of expertise from those members who may be potentially forced to retire; if he will engage in meaningful negotiations with PDFORRA with a view to abandoning the planned discriminatory practice of forced retirements of young persons with young families to support, following just 21 years of service to the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
