Ms Caron McCaffrey:
In relation to staff and additional remuneration, I mentioned earlier we have put a lot of additional resources into the system because of overcrowding. Any staff member who wants to earn additional remuneration can opt voluntarily to work pooled hours through our system that are paid at a premium rate. In terms of our budget for 2026, we have received €10 million extra to support additional hours in the system. Any staff member who wants to earn additional remuneration can work additional hours through our system for a premium rate.
