Did the scoping exercise carried out last year come up with any other proposal bar looking simply at how much it would cost to implement the Labour Court recommendation? If any other organisation or private entity ignored such a recommendation, the Minister would be critical, as would I. I have added the figures. If one includes the ex gratiapayments, it would come to €854 million. As such, the Minister is probably a bit short in his own figures.
