IRA bomber is set to be handed state-funded armed services pension
A FORMER solider who joined the IRA and bombed a British army barracks is set to receive an armed services pension.
Anyone who is convicted of an offence that attracts his kind of sentence, is automatically banned from receiving his AF pension.
Michael Dickson, who used to serve with the Royal Engineers, was sentenced to six years in prison for the mortar attack in Osnabruck in Germany in June 1996.
Dickson now regulary speaks at fundraisers for the IRA’s political wing Sinn Feinn
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept petitions about an individual's pension arrangements.
You could start a new petition calling for the rules on pensions for ex-servicemen and women to changed, so that anyone convicted of specific kinds of offences would lose their pension entitlement.
