So as the commission’s prediction was 9.6%, and it has confirmed again a further pay cut for the lowest paid workers in the State, I want at this point to try to move the conversation on. Given the fact that the increase recommended by the commission, the €0.80, has been completely wiped out by inflation, would the commission consider making a recommendation for a supplemental wage increase during next year, given the impact of inflation?
