Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 December 2017
278. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the purpose of the account holders allowance; the number of recipients of this allowance; and if those that receive this allowance actually physically carry out the duties assigned to this role. [52250/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis allowance is payable to certain qualified non-commissioned officers who are appointed by an Authorised Officer pursuant to Defence Forces Administrative Instruction 14/01 to undertake duties in relation to logistics and other related accounts.
There are currently 38 personnel in receipt of the account holders’ allowance. The allowance was abolished for new beneficiaries by Government decision of 18 September 2012.
If the Deputy has a concern about a particular case, he can bring it to my attention and I will have the matter examined.
