I convey this point on behalf of teachers but it probably relates to others who had expectations under the Haddington Road agreement that were not met as a result of the Lansdowne Road agreement. They would see it as the power to withhold things they understood they would get under the Haddington Road agreement. The example given is of teachers who received an annual payment of €1,592 for supervision and substitution that was withdrawn under the Haddington Road agreement with the understanding that it would be reinstated after three years. This Bill now gives the Minister the power not to give it back to them unless they sign up to one of the sectoral agreements. How would the Minister respond to that?
