Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

The problem in many cases is that in order to solve the problem with permanent staff, one would have to roster two shifts. As such, we would be paying permanently for two shifts and the cost could easily be more than the €35,000 in that case. The same applies in the other cases. Many of the payments relate to this kind of instance. Where an individual received €35,000, I take the Deputy's point. It seems slightly high.
