The only difference in entitlements to grants and subsidies between the two groups is in relation to the £5,000 grant payable to the local authority tenants. With regard to the question of extending the £5,000 grant to Defence Force personnel, I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 114 of 6 June.
