Mr. Barry O'Brien:
I would say, if one looks at what the audit has established and what I have said already, of the numbers absolutely - do your calculations - it stakes up that 99.9% of all public servants are fully compliant with pay policy. To say that we had an epidemic, the epidemic was confined to a very small group of people who, now it has emerged, were using various forms of funding, not always from the public purse, to supplement pay.
