Mr. Robert Watt:
-----but the allowances are very significant. They are €3,500 or €4,000 of a qualification allowance, which was not allowed for a while but it was restored. There has been a merging of the scales. The Deputy suggests that the issue has not been addressed to the satisfaction of everybody but this is the way it is and it is an occupational hazard. A significant amount of progress has been made over the last years since the FEMPI cuts and the Minster has indicated there is a process now, under the new agreement, to look again at this issue.
