I have no function in relation to the matters raised in the question and the information requested is not available in my Department.

Local authorities are entirely independent corporate entities, having full responsibility under law for the performance of their functions and the discharge of their governance and other responsibilities. The policy in relation to compensating persons as outlined in the Question, for a specific purpose, are matters for each local authority. Details in that regard may be obtained directly from individual authorities.
