Kieran O'Donnell: If this is the way the IRHA is approaching the matter, has it considered whether, if the same basis were to be used now, it could be the basis for a new scheme?

Kieran O'Donnell: If the IRHA wants us to, we can follow up on this matter. Is that its main request at the moment?

Kieran O'Donnell: I am aware that I am asking the obvious question. Mr. Ryan will be aware, given that we have discussed it. He is one of our local men in Limerick.

Are those the two requests?

Kieran O'Donnell: Every scheme must be flexible on price. That is the point I am trying to make about the €1.27. I am interested in the basis of the scheme. There must be a basis. Otherwise, this would be too abstract. There can be a scheme that swings in and out.
