The Labour Court recommended that Kildare County Council pay retained firefighters the drill rate when they carry out special duties such as maintenance, painting and grass cutting. The recommendation was dated 19 August 2004. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought the higher rate, while the council argued the work was unrelated to firefighting and that the general operative rate was appropriate.
