Professor Denis Cusack:

I was on the team that negotiated it. When I took office the remuneration was £3,000 and I was losing approximately £5,000 a year running the service. It should be properly structured. I do not want to get into industrial relations matters but we should have a properly structured service. Money should be put into the support service. The Senator is quite right. There are a lot of structures. There are many things about which I could tell and inform the Senator. Many of them are positive. I want to come out of this meeting being supportive and positive because we owe it to the people who have died and their families.
