The Minister could make a start with the CE supervisors and assistant supervisors.

There is no question. We had this debate. On the IGEES figures I cited earlier, up to €500 million or whatever, that is obviously if we have an immediate big-bang approach. Given that Labour Court Recommendation No. 19293 is sitting there for ten years, whatever excuses could have been made in respect of the crash and the aftermath and the austerity period, there is no validity in them now. The matter is crying out for justice. The Minister herself has been floating the idea of the supplementary savings scheme, automatic enrolment and this plan for 2022-2023 to ensure that this will not happen again to any segment of our society where people have given very valuable service to communities. In this budget, in line with that, can she not as a start implement this recommendation at a very modest cost? The budget committee is meeting the Minister, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, this afternoon.
