I am not arguing with the definition of allowances which has been provided by our guests because it is probably clearer than those which have been supplied by various Departments, etc. Perhaps Mr. Barry O'Brien's point to the effect that the allowances paid by the HSE have been adjudicated on by the Labour Court is germane because the allowances paid to gardaí and members of the Defence Forces have not been adjudicated upon in this way. Perhaps the terminology used by those who outlined the position on the latter allowances was different.
