I want to stay on this point. Mr. Ó Foghlú said the vast majority of them are pensionable if the person stays in that position, and if it is foreseeable that someone would stay in it. I do not believe that in the case of many of these allowances that are pensionable one could foresee that somebody would stay in that position, for example, the warden of Trinity Hall allowance, the personal medical consultant on-call allowance and the transport liaison officer in the VECs allowance. That amounts to €300,000. I am not sure one can make that deduction. How would Mr. Ó Foghlú make that call with regard to a pensionable allowance? He has not answered my question as to whether that was typical throughout the public service.
