Mr. John McKeon:
With respect, that is not at all inconsistent. What I said previously is that a review was done to identify the criteria which were then subsequently agreed in the code of practice with ICTU, IBEC and others, which would be applied to each case. I am not familiar with the letter from 1995, which I believe is the date Deputy Munster gave.
