Must the Department consider new business cases? The business cases for many of the allowances initially submitted began with an indication that the allowance is considered core pay and under the Croke Park agreement it would not be discussed for current beneficiaries but rather for new entrants. Decisions were made in that respect. If it is not a new process, will the Department return with new terms under which to make the case?
