Mr. John McKeon:
There is a claim in and we are talking to our colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform about that. For context, prior to 2008, their pay moved with the public sector generally, even though they are not public sector employees. In 2008, at the time of the financial emergency measures in the public interest cuts, they made an argument that they should not be treated like others in the public sector and that their pay should not have been cut. When public servants had their pay cut, CE people did not. That separation happened.
