I have allowed wide latitude in the questions being asked, as I always take it myself. Does anybody wish to ask anything else? I suggest that we confine questions in this round to the Estimates. I am not imposing a time limit but we should confine it to the Estimates in the interest of time. It is an important function.

I have a couple of questions. I could ask more but I do not wish to take the time of other members who may wish to raise issues. In response to Deputy Catherine Martin on pay equality, you said there are things that can be done that you would support within the pay talks. Could you suggest some of the things that could be done in the pay talks in terms of pay equality?
