What is done by the Irish Prison Service is unique, but nurses and plenty of other people throughout the public sector do plenty of overtime and work on Sundays, Christmas Day, etc. Are unions piggy-backing on a particular allowance and then negotiating or brokering a deal? Has Mr. Donnellan ever experienced that?
