#Navy - More than 100 people writes RTE News have taken part in a protest over pay and conditions for rank and file members of the Defence Forces.

The demonstration was organised by the Wives & Partners of the Defence Forces (WDPF) group.

A wreath was laid at the national memorial at Merrion Square in honour of deceased Defence Forces members.

Members of the Irish UN Veterans Association, which organised the ceremony, then took part in a march to Leinster House.

Family members of Defence Forces personnel addressed the crowd outside the Dáil.

After the demonstration, a smaller group resumed a vigil and will stay outside Leinster House overnight (last night).

The WPDF supports the families of enlisted Defence Forces personnel. To read more scroll down the page beyond second photo.
