On the individuals highlighted in the report, has the HSE gone the next step to see some of these P60s? This is the question I want answered. Did what is now being described as private top-up income appear on the main P60? Do the staff concerned have separate employers for these top-up payments? Would there be differing practices as to whether some of the funds came from the foundation or from the sweet shop, as the case may be? Some of the payments have been described as funds from private sources. They say, maybe, it has to do with private practice, and that might be separate self-employment. I ask them to talk about the P60s. In the case of all of these top-up charges, did the universal social charge, PRSI and pension levy apply? When the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest, FEMPI, Act pay cuts were being introduced, did that apply only to their publicly known and stated salary or did they apply to their total payment from these organisations, including the top-ups?
