Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am trying to put a structure on all of this. There is so much detail involved one might never establish anything. There appears to be a few different parcels into which all of these allowances are being categorised, one of which is additional duties, which at a time in the history of the State were huge duties in respect of which people were paid extra. These have been overtaken by the passage of time but the payment remains.
