The sum of €160 million is the cost of a 1% increase to all of those who work in our public services. The cost of dealing with the issue of equalising pre and post-wage scales across the period of 2013 in a single year would be €206 million. If I had come into the House and said that I was prioritising dealing with that matter ahead of those others who work in the public services, I would be criticised for doing so and for not trying to find a way to unwind the FEMPI legislation.
