I will deal with that later. The Minister of State claimed that our amendment omitted several people, such as the Ceann Comhairle. We are working off page 6 of the Bill, which refers to a 29.96% reduction for the Taoiseach. Our amendment proposes that the reduction be 64%. The Bill refers to a 24.83% reduction for the Tánaiste; our amendment proposes a 59% cut. The Bill provides for a 24.83% reduction for Ministers; we propose a reduction of 55.5%. While the Bill provides for a reduction of 15.96% for Ministers of State, our amendment proposes a reduction 35%.
