Does the old rule regarding discharges still apply.
If a serving member of the DF is convicted in a civilian court of a criminal offence are they automatically discharged from the DF.
I am refering to the report on the RTE news this evening regarding the report of three serving members of the DF serving in Athlone who were convicted of assault charges.They were given suspended sentences but no mention was made of their future in the DF.
In the past any conviction was automatically resulting in discahrge .can any shed any light on the issue?
