I suspect this allowance, at €100,000, probably offers the best value for money of any allowance I have encountered anywhere. I refer to a scenario in which solicitors presented the cases in the District Court instead of the inspectors so doing. Were several solicitors lined up all day to do the work on behalf of the Garda, the cost would be phenomenal. Consequently, this allowance is highly cost-effective. The Commissioner should explain what is the radio allowance, which may be connected in some way. I refer to the allowance of €5,000 being received by 69 people.
