I appreciate that, Mr. McCarthy.
A broad range of groups have been affected by the pensions issue. The Minister, Deputy Chambers, has been very clear that he is initiating a scoping exercise to identify the number of retired civil and public servants whose pensions will need to be checked. The figure that was quoted is a maximum of 13,000 people but it may not reach that. Has Mr. Moloney any idea what the number is at the moment? Is it foreseen to reach 13,000?
