The Minister has shown tremendous flexibility today on the voluntary contributions. There are some issues with respect to voluntary contributions. I may be wrong but I am of the opinion that most local authorities did not advise their elected members that they had the option to make a voluntary contribution. I know the Minister has ruled my amendment to be out of order. It relates to retrospective recognition for the over 66 class K contributions for pension purposes.
