Subsistence is not payable to military personnel in respect of security duty in Portlaoise prison as such personnel are provided with rations and accommodation. These personnel qualify for a special prison duty allowance, the rates of which are £36.11 per day for officers and £37.20 per day for non-commissioned personnel.
