Mr. Ronan Gill:

With respect, I would have to see the document. I have not seen the document as it is presented here. I would need to see whether Appendix 1 - it is referred to as an appendix - is part of a larger document. It is quite possible for us to take individual lines from particular documents and read them in a particular way. The appropriate way for us to deal with this is through the Workplace Relations Commission. The factual differences that may arise between us can be clarified through that process. CIÉ confirmed to the Workplace Relations Commission in October of 2017 that it would fund advice through it. That was primarily actuarial advice but it also made provision for other professional advice around the legal and regulatory framework that applies to these schemes. I hope I have dealt with the point the Deputy raised earlier.
