Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

As indicated, in respect of the principal and deputy principal allowances, we are having some initial discussions with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on whether a different system is possible. However, we are not yet at the stage where we even have an agreed approach on which we could have discussions with the unions. It is a highly complicated issue because someone may have moved to be a principal after a small number of years and, therefore, the question arises of placing them at an advantage, if one has in place a scale for principals. However, we certainly are looking at the matter.
