I would appreciate it if Mr. Moloney could do so. Clause 4.1 in the agreement provides that it should be used as a framework for additional payments to be made to cover wages. In this particular case, it is NTPF and the HSE, but they are basically bouncing off each other. The staff are the victims here. They are not getting their pay increases. These are health professionals working in dementia units, long-term residential care, day services and so on. I think Mr. Moloney will agree that it is deeply unfair. I would appreciate it if he could take that issue up directly. It is a small cohort. It possibly involves fewer than ten organisations across the country. I acknowledge that many of the section 39 organisations are getting the pay agreements, but there are some that are not. It needs to be addressed because we are now several months after the agreement.
