Where is the 7% increase in compensation that has been budgeted for coming from? It is a massive cause for concern that €16 million of citizens' funds is being given as compensation. In some cases, this may be for work-related accidents but, in many cases, these are settlements with members of the service who have taken action against management decisions or members of the public taking civil cases relating to Garda wrongdoing. What is the breakdown? How many are illness-related?
