The Minister says the bonus structure has gone away. I would like him to address this today because we both know that one cannot take away a term or condition of employment without compensating those who are entitled to it. I am not one bit concerned about the top guys who are going to walk away with megabucks in their pockets. I am talking about the guys who are on €35,000 or €40,000 a year with this as part of their income. To take it away now is wrong.

I am not sure what the public water forum is for. It involves between 12 and 60 people. We all know that when a committee designs a horse it ends up with a camel. Senator Healy Eames is correct in saying the conservation grant is a scam to get people to sign up.

I have worked in information technology for 25 years. There is no such thing as a computer-generated e-mail.
