Seán Haughey (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)

The existing schemes that cover the people mentioned by the Senator will continue to operate, regardless of whether they are better or worse. A series of orders will be made in 2009 and 2010 on foot of this legislation. One order will be made in the case of each scheme. It will be an open and transparent process. The precise rules and regulations will be outlined in those orders for all to see.
