Looking at another post ,it came to mind that all Gardai get a rent allowence.
They may have lived in the same house since they joined but they still get it.As is the case in my direct family and some friends.
My understanding is that it is an allowence based on the fact that they could be asked to move to another area.
I firmly believe that this is crazy and should be paid only,when and if they are moved for employment purposes.
Otherwise each and every member who isnt moved gets approx 4k a year for nothing!!
Just in case someone says its because they are public service employees that Im complaining about,let me make it very clear that if that allowence is given to anyone ,regardless of whom they work for ,based on an <just in case ,it to my mind is a disgrace.
The fact that taxpayers are giving this money to them for nothing needs to be highlighted.
