Mr. Robert Watt:

No. Allowances, premium payments and overtime in the public service amounts to approximately €1.8 billion.

We are speaking about core pay and other elements which make up various premium payments, allowances and overtime. It is very significant. There has been a 30% reduction in overtime over the past 18 months or two years. This significant reduction amounts to €150 million, which has been taken out of the pockets of various groups as we have changed rosters and structures in the system. Premium payments and overtime are separate from the specific allowances the committee is examining.
