Mr. Declan Doyle:

The way it works is that each year the chief executive will set out specific achievable targets for the individuals in the different divisions. If they achieve and exceed those targets, they are rewarded accordingly. It would be a measure of service delivery, for example, in terms of the health care, or the number of people placed in jobs and education, and those kinds of things that are relevant to particular areas of responsibility. The chief executive would have submitted to our committee a schedule of payments she deemed appropriate and if the committee agreed, we would sanction them. That is the way it worked.
