| *In August 2005 agreement was reached between the Irish Prison Service and the Prison Officers' Association on the Proposal for Organisational Change in the Irish Prison Service. A key element of the agreement was the elimination of overtime working and its replacement with an Additional Hours System. The introduction of the Additional Hours System has led to a decrease in overtime expenditure since 2005. |
