That is good. It is convenient.

I have a concern with the semi-State organisations regarding the costs involved. For example, in the ESB, we have some of, if not the best paid, utility workers in the world and to pay for these salaries, the Irish people pay some of the highest prices for electricity in the world. While that is great if one is in the ESB, it is bad for everyone else. Will anything be done to ensure this sort of system does not occur in other NewERA areas such as water?
