No report of that nature came to Cabinet today. As I indicated earlier, we have a solution, which is a new approach to calculating the State pension contributory, namely, the total contributions approach. It will come into effect in 2020. It will need to be legislated for. However, in the meantime, the Minister and her officials and officials of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform are exploring interim proposals. However, we do not have them worked up or costed yet, and that will take a number of weeks.
