I will speak on my own behalf and on behalf of other Senators, including Senator Mark Daly who got tied up on the way to the meeting here. I was only talking to him a few moments ago. He just could not make it here today. I appreciate the Minister of State's answer and his honesty. He has given us a timeframe, which we did not have before now. We were in the dark. I know the Minister of State met representatives from the AILG and that they found the meeting quite productive. We welcome the commitment to introduce it by Hallowe'en. It would be great if it happened. We certainly would welcome it. We are delighted to hear about the backpay as well and that expenses will be examined. Will the anomaly between county councillors and city councillors be sorted out in the same timeframe?
