I propose to take Questions Nos. 58 and 59 together.
The specific information sought by the Deputy is not maintained in the format requested and it is not possible to prepare the material in the timeframe given. I will write to the Deputy with the information requested at the earliest opportunity.

60. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the estimated cost of providing rent allowance to the Defence Forces similar to that provided to An Garda Síochána; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25959/19]

There are no plans to introduce a Rent Allowance similar to that provided to An Garda Síochána for members of the Defence Forces, I can therefore not speculate on the cost of providing it.
