#navy - An increase in take-home pay for members of the Defence Forces is likely to be recommended by the Public Service Pay Commission when it reports to the Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe today (yesterday).
The commission, The Irish Times reports, is an independent body tasked by the Government with examining pay in the public sector, is expected to make its report on Defence Forces pay and the challenges of recruitment and retention of staff in the armed forces available to Mr Donohoe.
It is likely that the report will be brought to Cabinet next week with a recommendation that the pay increases be approved. These are in addition to basic pay, it is understood.
Sources say the commission was likely to propose increases in military service allowances for personnel in the Army and to patrol duty allowances for members of the Naval Service.
