Mr. John O'Brien:

It is very clear in the CEO's response that he wanted the award paid. In fact, in one of the quotes he states: "It is hard to see the justification to unilaterally overlook the HSE-IMPACT agreement. In the interests of respecting existing agreements and maintaining fairness, we should proceed with honouring these limited increases." That was the CEO of the HSE to the Secretary General. The response from the Secretary General to that letter of 5 February 2009 was a handwritten note as follows: "Please prepare a draft reply. I regard this as a most unsatisfactory reply to my letter." He did not agree with the CEO and he made that very clear in handwriting.
