The amount of the party leader's allowance payable to the leader of Fianna Fáil, at the present time, is £292,361 per annum.

Accordingly, the rate will be £296,746 per annum with effect from 1 June 1996 and £301,197 per annum with effect from 1 October 1996, subject to the current Government and Opposition “qualified” party structure remaining unchanged.
