Covenant campaign
Campaigners to have the Armed Forces Covenant extended to Northern Ireland held an awareness event in Carrick on Friday.
PUP members and supporters gathered in High Street to highlight what they allege is “discrimination” against local Armed Forces personnel and veterans.
A PUP spokesperson said: “There are some specific benefits for the Armed Forces community that exist in Great Britain but are not available in Northern Ireland, such as improved access to IVF treatment, priority in accessing NHS health care, additional priority in accessing social housing, and certain educational entitlements.”
