Mr. John Boyle:

There are 13 recommendations in the report that was published yesterday. Funnily enough, they are not costed. I believe the reason for that is that they would not cost much money to implement. They are there on a page and we need to know before Christmas that the health authorities will implement them.

I know the Senator was a chairperson of a board of management. Mr. Pike spoke about regularising pay for school secretaries, which all of our unions fully support. For me, a long-standing sore point has been in relation to the real heroes in primary education over the past six months, who have been the principal teachers. They have been owed money by successive Governments for 14 years. That should be properly acknowledged in a public service agreement in the year ahead and our primary principals and deputy principals should get that debt paid. It is another pay equality issue for us, as well as the new entrant issue.
