Mr. Barry O'Brien:

Again, from a health sector perspective, the Labour Court has determined a compensation mechanism, involving the paying of 1.5 times the cost, under an actual loss under the public service agreement for our services. Consider the circumstances that would obtain if we closed the facility, resulting in people no longer having access to premia. If in their new work location the loss were continuous for a period of 12 months, they would then avail of a mechanism whereby they would get a payment in two instalments, one after six months and one after 12 months. That is a standard compensatory element. The process has not actually set any parameters so we will be guided by what emerges from the overall review of allowances and whether any compensatory issue will arise.
