Madam, – Your report on Garda allowances (Home News, May 28th) states, “Crime scene examiners are paid €2,946.90 per year. This payment is intended to compensate for the loss of unsocial hours allowances because crime scenes have to be examined in daylight.” I can’t imagine a more eloquent argument in favour of radical overhaul of remuneration practices in the public service! – Yours, etc,
