They could submit a tender. That should be considered because they are all on part-time contracts. A company is making a profit I do not know what the profit is so I will not speak to that. Based on what I heard from the broadcast workers, taking what they are paid, as against the amount that is going into this, if they are not going be get permanent employment with the Houses of the Oireachtas, and if the company is not seemingly playing ball at the moment, it would be worthwhile for them to consider putting in a tender as a collective.

What is the total wages bill of the entire Houses of the Oireachtas? A rough figure will be sufficient.
