I am not for a moment suggesting the best possible use is not being made of it or that it should not be there and I join Mr. Callinan in condemning the horrific murder this morning.

For the purposes of this hearing, we have explored the question of when an allowance is an allowance and what that means. It is an interesting observation for the purpose of the work we are doing that an allowance within the Garda Síochána can include overtime but for others we have had in, it is seen as something completely different.
