Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I advise the Deputy to wait until he hears the statement from the Minister for Finance later this afternoon. As I said to Deputy Martin in response to a number of questions, the Tara Mines workers, whom I met, have a particular case and the story might not be as clear as that which has often been put out. He made the case that the situation with regard to deductions from pensioners was a matter for the trustees here and some applied it without reducing their own cost levels in the first instance. It is a matter in which I am taking an interest.
