Mr. Tom O'Mahony:
I am aware that the very high payment relates to an officer of the Department who was on secondment to another organisation. She was an assistant principal officer, but her duties were at assistant secretary level. She was, therefore, in receipt of an allowance to make up the difference between the salary of an assistant principal officer. Effectively, she was being paid as an assistant secretary, but it was treated as being an assistant principal officer's salary plus an allowance.
