Vol. 385 No. 5

Supplementary Estimates, 1988. - Vote 39: Army Pensions.

, Limerick West): I move:

That a supplementary sum not exceeding £2,350,000 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of December, 1988, for retired pay, pensions compensation, allowances and gratuities payable under sundry statutes to or in respect of members of the Defence Forces and certain other Military Organisations, etc., and for sundry contributions and expenses in connection therewith; for certain extrastatutory children's allowances and for sundry grants.

Question put, and a division being demanded, it was postponed in accordance with Standing Order of the Dáil No. 127, as modified by order of the House, until 3.45 p.m. on Tuesday 13 December 1988.

I am interpreting the wishes of the Deputy by saying that he is going to challenge a division.

I am reserving the position of the Labour Party. We are supporting the position taken by Deputy McCartan.

Such reservations will be unfolded to us next Tuesday at 3.45 p.m.

It will add a sense of drama to the occasion.
