  6. BERTIE AHERN, Minister for Finance. EXPLANATORY NOTE. The Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) (Amendment) Act, 1994 provides (inter alia) for the payment of allowances — in addition to basic Parliamentary salary — to the Chairmen of certain Oireachtas committees and the Leader of the House in Seanad Éireann. These Regulations authorise the deduction from the allowances of contributions in respect of the Houses of the Oireachtas (Members) Pensions Scheme and the payment of those contributions into the fund set up under that Scheme.
