That is very helpful. I have noted some local variations in the document. We have discussed this with every Secretary General. I refer to the kind of variance at local level. For example, it seems there are many keyholders in Laois. It seems peculiar to me and to most people. There must be many keyholders in Wicklow. Even after all these discussions, I am still confused about these matters. Is it simply the case that local arrangements have developed? Perhaps unions in County Laois, for example, have been more vociferous and more effective at putting in place local allowances. Is it the case that the situations of keyholders in other counties is different in some way? I hope I am right in referring to Laois.
