Yes, please do.
The Vote the Minister of State put to us today will be supported by the members. I raised the non-payment of awards as a point of interest. I think that someone like the Minister of State might take an interest in establishing why the Department of Health has blocked paying the awards. Today, we have agreed to bring in the people affected by the recommendation that has not been implemented. The Government should honour agreements made with State employees and I would like to know why the agreement has not been honoured.
We have considered the Estimates and the contributions made by the Minister of State and the Minister for Finance. As there are no further questions consideration of the Supplementary Estimates has been agreed to.
