Mr. Barry O'Brien:

For the record and in respect of an inquiry we made on 19 June 2012, the chairman of the board made it clear - and the group CEO stated - that "Further to Mr. Jermyn's e-mail and correspondence below, Nicky has asked me to clarify that the table included in item 1 of his letter dated 18 June addressed to Mr. O'Brien should read "CEO" and not "group CEO" as indicated". This appears to indicate that the correct version of the salary at that time was €145,959 and now with the post-July adjusted figure it has gone downwards. That is the hospital informing us what the salary is for.
