Day 173 - 16 Oct 95 - Page 34
1 point on -----
2
3 MS. STEEL: No, that is page 3. I was talking about page 4.
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
6
7 MS. STEEL: I cannot work out what page 3 is, to be honest.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: At the moment, I am thinking -- query, what
10 difference it will make at the end of the day, I am not
11 passing any judgment upon that -- but it looks that after
12 any raises which may appear on pages 1 and 2, there are
13 raises which are shown on page 3, and then the rates which
14 appear on page 4 are the ones which are the latest rates on
15 pages 1 and 2, that is, before any further rise which
16 appears on page 3.
17
18 MS. STEEL: Right. There are three names on page 4 that do not
19 appear on the typed sheet.
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: There you are. Mr. Mehigan is saying that he
22 cannot remember why that was.
23
24 MR. MORRIS: The names on this sheet, it says -- let us just
25 have a look at these disclosed documents. On the front
26 page it says "hours worked per week", the first document
27 1. I presume that is a misprint; it should be "hours
28 worked per fortnight", because even we will not claim they
29 are working 90 hours a week or 119 hours a week.
30 A. Let me just review for one second. Yes, it would
31 appear that it is two weeks' hours.
32
33 Q. Yes; and the dates are two weeks apart, so we will
34 assume -----
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: They are not always two weeks apart. But if
37 one assumes that they were working not necessarily, as it
38 were, every day, I suppose they might receive their pay
39 just shortly before the fortnight or shortly afterwards?
40 A. That is correct, my Lord, yes.
41
42 Q. We get sometimes more than two weeks between the dates and
43 sometimes less?
44 A. Yes, depending on the -----
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: But it is basically around the two week
47 period.
48
49 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Almost all of them are full-timers, are they
50 not? If you cast your eyes down, there are only about
51 three that you could say were obviously -- maybe four --
52 that were obviously part-timers, just from halving the
53 hours that they have given?
54 A. Yes. Cecily Brennan would appear to be part-time.
55
56 Q. Yes; and the second page Gloria Heeley is obviously
57 part-time, and Kathleen Doyle is obviously part-time, and
58 (inaudible) obviously part-time. So, apart from those
59 four, the rest are all full-timers?
