Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I do not know whether I understood the Taoiseach wrongly when I read in the newspaper that he was appealing for wage restraint. I ask him whether we will see a Supplementary Estimate so that the Dáil can have a proper and informed debate on the proposals made by the review group on higher remuneration. We received a Supplementary Estimate today from the Department of Finance for a much smaller sum of money.
