Defence Forces ask for discretionary payment for cold snap activities
The Government is today being asked for a discretionary payment for soldiers who have been helping out in the snow.
Members of the Defence Forces have been transporting medical staff to and from their jobs on snowbound roads.
The request for the "decency" payment was made through the Defence Forces representative body, PDForra.
It has been agreed for some personnel, but not all of them who have been on duty.
