The precise details required by the Deputy are not readily available as not all the bodies within Vote 19 (Office of the Minister for Justice and Law Reform) are paid directly from the centralised payroll system. The total overtime and call-out payments for the year to date paid from Vote 19 are in the region of €1.346m. This represents 1.24% of total pay related expenditure in the same period. Overtime premia vary according to grade, conditioned working hours and time worked. The criteria in question are outlined in Department of Finance Circular 27/1999 — Extra Attendance.
