Mr. Paddy Hayes:

-----I appreciate the opportunity to clarify that any interpretation along the lines that Deputy Dooley has suggested is an entire misinterpretation of the terms and intent of any draft agreement. The opposite is the case. This gives me the opportunity to speak to that point. We encourage all of our staff to speak up. We really appreciate staff speaking up and we believe that is part of the culture. We have sought to increase the level of reporting of near misses, good catches and of safety opportunities. We brought that up to a level of about 4,500 last year. Every one of those is an opportunity for someone in the organisation to have a dialogue with the business about opportunities for safety improvement. The situation, therefore, is quite the contrary to any other suggestion in that regard.
