This time last week we were getting a lot of weather warnings. We were told there was to be a blizzard. A blizzard is particularly dangerous because one cannot see what is really happening. At today's hearing we are speaking about pension schemes, statutory instruments and legal opinions. There is a danger that this is a blizzard of big words and we cannot see exactly what is happening. It is important that the committee sees exactly what is happening in this matter. Something very significant and interesting happened at this committee meeting today. A contribution was made to the committee by Mr. Greg Ennis, who I believe the Vice Chairman has just promoted to general secretary of SIPTU.
