I welcome Dr. McLoughlin, Mr. O'Brien and their staff. On the length of time it is taking to sort out the salary top-up issue, it appears there have been indications of unauthorised salaries through the HSE dating back to 2008. There are arguments that there was knowledge much earlier than this. Why is the matter unresolved? Why did the HSE not put pressure on the agencies to comply, particularly when the country was broke and most of us were having to tighten our belts?
