OIREACHTAS (ALLOWANCES TO MEMBERS) (TRAVELLING FACILITIES) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS, 1983.

I, JOHN BOLAND, Minister for the Public Service, in exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 5 (1) of the Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) and Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices (Amendment) Act, 1964 (No. 14 of 1964), and the Public Service (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order, 1973 ( S.I.

1.

These Regulations may be cited as the Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) (Travelling Facilities) Regulations, 1983.

2.

These Regulations shall be deemed to have come into operation on the 1st day of September, 1983.

3.

The following facilities are hereby prescribed as the travelling facilities for the purposes of the Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) Act, 1938 (No. 34 of 1938), for members of Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann—

GIVEN under my Official Seal, this 11th day of November 1983.
