I thank the Vice Chairman and Deputy McGuinness for his contribution. I have a small number of factual questions. On the overtime claimed by Deputy McGuinness's son while working for his father when he was a Minister of State, the rationale put forward was that when a member of staff in the then Minister of State's office took maternity leave the position was left unfilled and this created a need for overtime. Will the Deputy confirm that the position was unfilled in the period when his son claimed overtime?
