Mr. Pat Burke:

The better way is that instead of having differentiated kango hammer and power drill allowances, one would have a greater grouping of allowances and, by definition, less of them. That is something that might be more understandable to the public. I see the Deputy's point that there is a difficulty with the public perception of some of this. Probably the biggest element and what accounts for the vast bulk of the money is allowances that are very proximate to core pay. If the preponderance of a grade are all drawing a certain type of allowance, the reality is that for that grade, because that allowance pretty much obtains for everyone, it is about getting as close to core pay as possible.
