Some of the increases proposed in this Bill have already been paid, but there are other increases which have not yet been paid. I understand the position is that they are under examination in the Department of Finance. Could the Minister indicate when all the payments due under this Bill will be made?

Question proposed: "That Section 5 stand part of the Bill."
As soon as possible. There must be some snag in the particular payments that are held up.
Will the Minister be able to tell us on the Report Stage?
I can promise the Deputy that there will be no undue delay in connection with this matter.
May we assume that there will be some information within a month?
There will be.
