APPENDIX IV.SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCES PAYABLE TO GARDA SIOCHANA.In the great majority of cases, only the day allowances are payable: these are 3/- for necessary absence on duty from a Station for a period of between 8 hours and 12 hours, and 4/- for 12 hours and upwards. The ordinary night allowance (which covers the whole period of 24 hours) is 10/-. This is reduced to 7/6 after a stay of 14 nights in one place, and, if the member knew beforehand that his stay would exceed 14 nights, then only 7/6 is paid from the start. This allowance is payable when neither sleeping accommodation nor messing facilities are available at the local barracks. This state of affairs most frequently arises with men sent from one town to another on protection duty during strikes or agrarian trouble, when the men have to stay at hotels or lodgings in default of official accommodation. If a member is provided with sleeping accommodation, the 10/- and 7/6 rates are reduced by 2/-. Members accommodated in barracks, but messing out owing to the absence of messing facilities in the barracks. Where members are sent on temporary service to another district, e.g., to relieve men going on leave and are accommodated in barracks, but are obliged to purchase their meals owing to the absence of reasonable messing facilities (as occurs, for example, when all the members of a Station party are married and reside out of barracks), the allowance payable is based on vouched expenses for food less home or mess saving and does not exceed 4/- a day. Members accommodated and messed in barracks. Where men are sent on temporary duty to another sub-district and are accommodated and messed in barracks, the allowance payable to married men who are thus separated from their families is 2/- a night for not more than the first 30 nights and to others 6d. a night for not more than the first 7 nights.
