I do not have the exact figure to hand. The payment of family income supplement is reflective of the particular family circumstances and background of individual personnel. Issues relating to pay in the Defence Forces were addressed in the context of the Haddington Road agreement, the negotiations for which included engagement by the Defence Forces representative bodies. I cannot add a great deal more than that. We are not in a position to deal with pay issues other than as agreed and prescribed under the Haddington Road agreement.
