Mr. Dermot Nolan:

It was 1999. It has continued ever since and we have published this in our annual reports, therefore, it has gone on over the past 13 years. We set that as an average of 7.5%. The average amount for which people are eligible is clearly set at about 7.5%. We engage in performance monitoring exercises during the year. Every member of staff has objectives which are set, measured and evaluated and as a result the pot is shared out. I take the point about the general issues of the public service.
