Ms Eimear Cusack:

It returns us to my earlier point that we had a grading structure that was very rigid and did not allow for mobility. There is a system of increments that are capped at a certain point. One of the driving forces behind the grade review is opening it up to reduce the number of grades and create job families to give people greater opportunities to move and progress within the organisation. The matter is in hand, but it will take a little time to get there.
