My mistake, the Lansdowne Road agreement will bring an additional cost of €300 million next year and for each of three years, making a total of €900 million by 2018. The Minister also said that the total savings under the FEMPI legislation would be €2.2 billion. I still do not believe the FEMPI legislation would hold in court today. The Minister might think it would but I would call it fig-leaf legislation. There is no longer any substance behind it but that is a moot point.
Is the Minister making the point that if the FEMPI legislation no longer exists, the €2.2 billion reduction in public service pay will have to be reversed?
