As there are no comments or questions on the subhead, we will move on to subhead A.3 - wound and disability pensions, allowances and gratuities to or in respect of former members of the Defence Forces. I do not think it includes anything too exciting about which members would want to ask questions. Subhead A.4 concerns payments to spouses of veterans of the War of Independence. There are 121 recipients. The scheme is demand-led and non-discretionary. The number of recipients is dropping.
