Vol. 196 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gardaí in North Mayo Gaeltacht.

90.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will arrange for payment to members of the Garda Síochána stationed in the North Mayo Gaeltacht areas the 7½ per cent. increase in salaries being paid to such members when operating in other Gaeltacht areas within the State.

The Gaeltacht allowance is payable only in cases where the whole of a Garda district, that is the territory in charge of a Superintendent, is classified as Irish-speaking. None of the Garda districts in North Mayo is so classified and it is accordingly not possible to authorise the extension of the Gaeltacht allowance to individual subdistricts within those districts.
