Mr. Callinan mentioned overtime. The business cases that have been presented to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the figures we have seen in recent days indicate that overtime is a big issue. A particular spike appears to occur with overtime for inspectors. Four inspectors each earned more than €60,000 in allowances and overtime. That is an extraordinary figure by any stretch of the imagination. Does a particular issue arise in the management structure when it comes to inspectors and, if so, what has been done to address it?
