I will move on to another issue. We raised the issue of overtime with the Minister last week. One of the reasons an organisation would need overtime would be to cover sick leave and other absences. Are the witnesses aware of a problem with the recording of sick leave absences? Are there any issues with the system of sick leave, particularly in respect of work-related stress? What are the figures on the numbers of members of the Garda who are absent at various levels due to work-related stress or accidents?
