Mr. Michael Howard:

I beg Deputy O'Donnell's pardon. If one takes the list of ten that we are discussing with the association, obviously, we will not go into it. One of them, the Border duty allowance, is the only one that is pensionable.

In general, for personnel serving at present, the allowances tend not to be pensionable. There are some exceptions to that. The MSA, the military service allowance, is pensionable, as Colonel O'Keeffe has said.
