The level of deductions to be made in respect of official accommodation in the light of the Conroy Commission recommendations which I have accepted in principle, is a matter for discussion under the Garda Síochána conciliation and arbitration scheme and, accordingly, I am not in a position to comment. The matter is at present before the Garda Síochána conciliation council.
As regards the second part of the question, I have accepted the recommendation of the Conroy Commission that no unmarried member of the force should be compelled to live in official quarters.
