Mr. Barry O'Brien:

It will come out of the 41. As I have already said, nine of those are long-standing and a number are statutory. The scope is quite limited in the area of health. I emphasise to the committee that the vast majority of allowances paid in the health sector have emanated from fairly protracted industrial relations procedures, in the vast majority of cases culminating in a definitive Labour Court recommendation. Obviously, that in itself would present a new challenge if somebody were to say such an allowance is to be abolished.
