Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I do not know what the value of reviewing the issue in 2010 is without an indication of what the outcome might be. Given the economic circumstances in which we find ourselves and the attitude thereto, why did it take so long to make this decision? Is back pay ruled out? If a review is conducted in 2010, will it have an impact on ministerial pensions, for instance, in the period between 2008 and 2010? Will that issue be included in the review? Does the same apply to county managers, judges and members of the higher ranks of the public service, who are included in that category?
