The Lansdowne Road agreement, which was supported by Sinn Féin up until today, lays out a process for income recovery for a large number of public servants. That process started last year for those on lower pay. It would be ideal if it were done quicker. That is the space into which we are now moving but the notion that it can - or that we should - exclude specific parts of the public service from it just for political purposes is wrong and fundamentally undermines the agreement.
