I agree with most that Senator Ryan said on the subject of benchmarking, with one exception. I believe the process was competently carried out. The proof of this is that it has been adopted and accepted, broadly speaking, by the trade union movement and other social partners. Statistics released yesterday showed that last year, our annual wage rises, having been at the top of the scale in 2001, had moved down the list quite a bit. There will be a debate on social partnership next week. I also thank the Leader for organising a debate on Northern Ireland.
