Senator Craughwell commented on councillors' pay and conditions, in particular PRSI. He is aware, as are all Members of the House, that an all-party group is in existence and is attempting to increase the pay and conditions of councillors, including their PRSI entitlements. That is ongoing. I am confident that we will make progress as an all-party group. I do not only represent the 193 independent councillors in this House, I represent approximately 1,100 other councillors-----
