(Limerick East): I am sure the Taoiseach will agree it is in everybody's interest that low nominal wages negotiated will lead to actual increases and rewards for everybody at work. Taking into account the high profitability of some companies, will the Taoiseach seek to bring to the negotiating table schemes where workers could acquire share options and share in the profits of highly profitable companies so that low nominal wages will lead to significant rewards for all workers? Will the Taoiseach take that up with the employers and the union side as part of the renegotiation programme?

I am all in favour of that. As the Deputy knows, we have some encouragement and incentives for that sort of development, but I must acknowledge there has been no great movement.

(Limerick East): They are very inadequate.

I think the Deputy introduced some of them, did he not?

He introduced all of them.

I am not criticising them.

(Limerick East): There is nothing there——

I am saying efforts have been made. Obviously we will have to see if they cannot be more effective.
