Mr. Jim Breslin:

The issue went back to 2008, when a new contract was put in place with consultants. The first phases of that contract were paid, so they saw increases. A phase in the contract was not paid because of the financial crisis. That was a time when many people were either not getting increases or, in many cases, having their pay reduced. The Government of the day took the decision not to implement that increase. That persisted up to last month, when a number of cases were taken.
