I apologise to the Minister of State. Unfortunately, I had to take an urgent family call. I was not here when he responded. It is for that reason I need to ask the question again. He may very well have answered it. The clarity I am seeking is in respect of his confirming that there will be an enhanced redundancy package for the workers and that it will be based on additional weeks' pay per year of service. To explain that, statutory redundancy, as the Minister of State will know, is two weeks' pay per year of service. I would expect the package we are discussing to be based on additional weeks' pay per year of service. If that principle could be established, it would be helpful. I apologise again for having to step out.
