This type of analysis is the very reason for providing information on the pay scales of senior executives. This type of analysis in which one produces an average salary gives rise to the wrong conclusions because it includes many part-time, low paid workers. We need to single out senior executive pay scales and obtain the relevant information. This informs public opinion. Deputies Mary Lou McDonald and Áine Collins would like to ask some brief questions before we conclude the meeting which started at 10 a.m. Mr. Purcell wishes to clarify a matter before we conclude.
