I propose to take Questions Nos. 54 and 75 together.

The report of the military police investigation into alleged irregularities in the operation of the unit fund account of the 3rd field artillery regiment, Reserve Defence Force, was received in Defence Forces headquarters on 24 March. The report has been referred to the Garda Síochána for its consideration.

The sum of €66,213 was received by my Department on 27 March in respect of amounts improperly claimed by the unit in question under the arrangements whereby units of the Reserve are reimbursed by the Department for the cost of meals provided to reservists in civilian establishments during attendance at field days, etc.
