Ms Clare Tiernan:

The adjudicator was looking at a particular issue that is going to arbitration. I do not really want to comment further on that process, because it is happening.

To go back to the issue of consultation on the legislation, we have met with the representative associations about this. It is not just a matter of having a formal written submission. That will continue and I think that is reflected in the explanatory note to head 26, which says that this will require further development and discussion. That has commenced. The explanatory note under head 26 is really important. It is not the case that we are ignoring the need to consult, and that is actually provided for in the explanatory note.
