I am not arguing against the Minister; I agree with the proposal. In developing the proposal, is the Department familiar with a State-owned company which may be paying certain staff - I am not certain because I am not familiar with this - minimum wage but in addition provided a health policy which was worth €3,000 for them and their family, but is now only worth €1,500 as a result of this measure? If that were the case I am not arguing we should not do this measure, but obviously employees deserve fairness in this regard.
