I take that point. I am making a broader point. How come we have keyholder allowances in one area but not in another? I want to get to the bottom of the matter. Is it basically a case of local unions negotiating successfully with county management over the years to get additional allowances? Have unions in some geographical areas been more successful than others? I cannot believe there are significantly fewer libraries in Wicklow than in Limerick. However, there are keyholder allowances in Limerick but not in Wicklow.
