Mr. P. J. Stone:

Obviously, I cannot speak about allowances applicable to the agencies mentioned by the Deputy because I would not be familiar with them. In terms of looking at the documentation that came from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, if one looks at the Garda Síochána radio technician allowance and the Defence Forces position, one can see they have the very same allowance but might be paying it to three people. It is just the way some of those allowances are divided up. They are the same allowance but payable to different people, if I am making myself clear.
