asked the Minister for Defence the reason disturbance allowances due to certain Army officers in respect of their transfers are not being paid; and the reason the appropriate regulation under the Defence Act is being disregarded by him in this respect.
Written Answers. - Disturbance Allowances Payment.

There is no provision in Defence Force regulations for payment of disturbance allowances to Army officers. I assume that the Deputy is referring to change of station allowances which are payable subject to the provisions of the relevant Defence Force Regulations S3 and Q10. I am not aware of any officer whose claim for payment of these allowances was disallowed contrary to the provisions of the regulations.
