Mr. P. J. Stone:

If I presented the Deputy with one of our diaries, which I present to the 11,100 members I represent, it would contain the list of allowances that are applicable to Garda rank. Some of the allowances referred to by the Deputy have been obsolete because there is nobody in receipt of them. There is a great case to be made for tidying up that list to reflect what is here in the list that applies to the members of my rank. In the McCarthy report, Mr. McCarthy identified what we would call live allowances at approximately 54 and that probably would be nearer the mark because some of the allowances alluded to by Mr. McCarthy have been set out by the Commissioner in respect of other ranks, particularly on-call allowances. In respect of members of the Garda Síochána I represent, that is the list of allowances applicable to them.
