Mr. Niall Cody:

The €750 generally is linked to the World Customs Organisation, WCO, awards ceremony that takes place every year in relation to activity dealing with the WCO, mostly its team awards. It is part of the WCO international awards day. Exceptional performance awards used to be a feature in the Civil Service but they died in 2008. We have a small maximum amount of €50, which is delegated to district and branch managers, to acknowledge a significant job of work done generally by very junior staff to a maximum of €50.
