As a final question, essentially the Croke Park agreement is an industrial relations agreement between the Government and the unions for industrial peace in exchange for no pay cuts and co-operation. As such, it only works for as long as both sides are of the same mind. What is Mr. Fitzpatrick's view of the appetite for or the continued acceptance of the agreement on both sides in the public sector? I refer to the appetite to continue to work it and beyond that, the appetite perhaps for an extension or re-negotiation of a new contract in the future.
