In line with Defence Force Regulation R5, the governing Regulation for the Army Reserve and Naval Service Reserve, and the provisions for pay and allowances as set out in Defence Force Regulation S.3, travel allowances totalling €698.96 were paid to 3 members of the Reserve Defence Force (RDF) on foot of claims made in 2016.
