Mr. Kieran Timmins:
To clarify, as I see it the term "top-up" is being used interchangeably in three areas. First is in the case of allowances, which may or not be approved by the HSE, such as allowances to people moving up to carry out a role above their normal role. Second is the payment or top-up above the pay agreed for a particular role and third is related to the full implementation of the FEMPI legislation. As of today, there are six people still in that category, but I am open to correction by Ms Manahan on that.
