Dr. Donal de Buitléir:

I believe it was 44, although there were a couple received this morning, which brings the number to 46. A total of 13 were from individuals, while 33 were from organisations.

On the issue of a living wage, I was at the launch many years ago by Sr. Bernadette McMahon of the Vincentian Partnership for Social Justice.

I need to look at that in more detail and I am aware there is a technical group looking at it. It will be on the agenda.
