The provision of £150,000 in the Budget, which was necessarily approximate, was framed on the basis that Civil Servants and Teachers would account for about 20 per cent. each of the total sum; Army pensions, retired pay, special allowances, etc., for about 30 per cent. Military Service Pensioners about 12½ per cent. and Garda, R.I.C. and miscellaneous for the balance of 17½ per cent.
Does the amount include disability pensions?
Yes. Army pensions and Special Allowances include disability.
