The Irish Prison Service is unusual in that allowances are specifically related to the hourly rate. Most other allowances we have discussed are fixed amounts and do not reduce if the hourly rate reduces. There will be a natural reduction in the allowances payable when the service starts to recruits again. I have a figure for the starting point as €22,124. Is that correct?
