Mr. Gerry Rooney:

We are in a broadly similar position. I do not think that there is anything to fear, financially, from our perspective. While there are some anachronistic payments they are, in the round, well justified. Consolidation of these allowances into pay would be a positive. This is not the ideal environment to do this from a trade union or representative association point of view. However, I do not believe we have anything to fear from the review.
