On a very brief point of order, Ms Flynn referred to the section 39s being forgotten. I wish to correct the record. They were not forgotten. They were included, and representations were made by the trade unions at the time to have them included but we were told very firmly and clearly that they were not part of that process and that they would be part of another process. I fully agree that some political parties and the HSE and the Department may have forgotten about the section 39s but they were not forgotten about by the workers' representatives. We did try to put them on the agenda, but the answer was a firm "no".
