Has the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, indicated anything on opening up discussions not only on the allowances, on which a review is under way, but also on a new payment system for the public sector? He indicated several times in debate in this committee and in the Dáil that he will cast his eye over this. Have any initial discussions been opened on this?
