The table shows the numbers of reservists, for each Unit of the Reserve Defence Force, who have been processed for the payment of a gratuity in respect of 2009. As the final payroll for 2009 has yet to issue a small number of reservists will receive gratuities in that payroll. Gratuities are normally paid in December of each year. It would not be unusual if a small number of gratuities for 2009 were notified for payment in 2010.
The terms and conditions for receipt of gratuities changed for 2008. The improved rates and the conditions for award of gratuities were sanctioned by the Department of Finance. The Reserve Defence Force Representative Association was consulted by my Department when the gratuity structure was being revised and the changes had their broad agreement and support.

The military authorities have informed that No 1 Gun Battery is an integral part of 31 Reserve Artillery Regiment (RAR). They have also informed me that as a sub-unit of 31 Reserve Artillery Regiment, No 1 Gun Battery will continue to parade at their current location in Collins Barracks, Cork and that they will be included in training plans for the 31 RAR.
