I thank Deputy McAuliffe for doing a very valuable piece of work where he worked through that business of people arriving undocumented. His work was very forensic and it was a very good use of the committee's time.
Deputy Murphy focused on one person who was paid €77,138 in overtime in the one year. That is one example. It is hard to get one's head around that amount of overtime. However, 271 staff were recipients of €10,000 or more in overtime worked. How does that translate into hours worked? The amount depends on the pay grade and we have some numbers but I do not have a handle on how many hours were worked.
