Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I understand the Minister's remarks and I hope everyone is listening. If this ever goes for adjudication, the remarks on the record of the House will be used to buttress the point and the concern I was raising. My main concern is that because of the changes in the public service and the nature of pay, overtime could become fixed in some circumstances down the road. I will take the Minister's assurance based on the FEMPI legislation here today and based on the fact that emergency will not last forever and that it might not be too long.
