Chapter 15 - Staff Appointments in the National Gallery of Ireland

Mr. Peter Brazel:

Payments of removal expenses are not covered by Circular 6/1989. They are dealt with on a very individual and very exceptional basis. Each is dealt with on its merits. Therefore, there is no standard procedure. Obviously, if somebody had to come from Canada, there would be one set of circumstances, and if somebody had to come from Germany or the United Kingdom, there would be a different set of circumstances. However, in terms of any particular situation, advice can be given based on the case's merits or demerits. As my colleague said, other than the sanction that was issued, we have no record of any advice or guidelines having been sought, or anything of that nature.
