Excuse me Deputy, but I want to ask one question. Did the pension abatement rules in the public service apply to that person when he or she came back? I am sure Mr. Field knows what I am talking about. When a person has retired, is in receipt of a pension and comes back to work, the amount he or she earns cannot exceed his or her original salary. Did those pension abatement rules apply?
