Mr. Tony O'Brien:

It is probably not fair but it is no more unfair for the voluntary sector than for the statutory sector, if I can put it that way. If we were funded in line with increments or, as we tend to call them, pay cost pressures, obviously, we would be in a position to fund them accordingly but there is no part of the public service that is funded on that basis.
