Vol. 449 No. 7
241 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Defence, in respect of Parliamentary Question No. 270 on 17 December 1991, regarding barrack damages, the amount collected in respect of FCA and Slua Muirí units in each year 1989 to 1994; the subhead under which such moneys are placed in the Estimates; the number and amounts for which AF 18s were issued in Eastern Command in each of the years 1992 to 1994 in respect of FCA and Slua Muirí personnel; and the units so deducted. [4588/95]
Pursuant to a recommendation in the report of the Commission on Remuneration and Conditions of Service in the Defence Forces (Gleeson report) it was decided in 1993 to waive recovery of amounts in respect of barrack damages to a maximum of £5 per individual concerned.Accordingly no deductions were made from members of the FCA and Slua Muirí in respect of barrack damages in 1993 and 1994.
The amounts deducted in respect of barrack damages/barracks services for the period 1989 to 1992 were as follows: 1989, £5,837; 1990, £5,119; 1991, £5,941; 1992, £4,290.
Separate information on amounts deducted for barrack damages by Command is not readily available. Receipts in respect of barrack damages were accounted for in Subhead Z — appropriations-in-aid of the Defence Vote.
