Vol. 451 No. 8
266 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Defence the purpose for which the amount of £42.91 is deducted from reservists at summer camp in view of the fact that laundry services and hair cutting costs are not made available to reservists. [7397/95]
The amount of £4,291 was collected from members of An Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil and An Slua Muirí in respect of welfare services in 1993 and 1994. In practice, the deduction is a contribution mainly towards the provision of sporting, recreational and entertainment facilities which may be availed of by members of An Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil and An Slua Muirí while attending annual training and training parades.
