It is a financial estimate. We are aware that the salaries and pensions of civil servants have changed over time. In fact, they have decreased. It is easy to calculate when a person has a very large pension pot of €2 million. The person has €2 million in an account and the amount they should be charged is known. It seems that we are entering shaky territory when we are trying to estimate what might accrue in the future when we do not know what that will be.
