Question 57: To ask the Minister for Defence his views on the fact that lower ranks in the Defence Forces are having to supplement their income by applying for family income supplement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30143/10]

The circumstances surrounding individual applications for Family Income Supplement and the payment of the supplement is a private matter between the applicant and the Department of Social Protection. My Department would not be aware, therefore, if members of the Defence Forces are in receipt of the Supplement.
