Is it fair to say that in respect of the public pay policy and the HSE's audit or control of that, €106,000 was being paid to Mr. Kiely and once the HSE established that control it was not that concerned about the €116,000 or the rest of it? I know Ms McGuinness's letter was before Mr. Peelo's response but if I got his response, I would have responded immediately and told him "No" and would have referred him back to the letter within which was given two weeks to respond.. However, Ms McGuinness did not do that. In fact, there was no response in respect of the demand from the HSE to respond within two weeks. As a result of that and of Ms McGuinness not persisting with it but easing off a little, which might be the way to describe it, Mr. Peelo responded and it was left at that.
