That is correct. The clear view of the Government is that any matters relating to public service pay will be dealt with inside the Lansdowne Road agreement and it is working to bring groups into the agreement. I would say that the Lansdowne Road agreement framework offers plenty of processes and ways in which we can deal with the issues people are raising. Amidst the understandable focus on groups outside the agreement, I point to the progress that has been made recently, with the TUI voting with a large turnout and a large majority to join the Lansdowne Road agreement.
