Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Broadly speaking, but I would have to provide a full breakdown because there can be certain exceptions. There is also the option of having what is known as a category C contract, which is what is normally applied for where a consultant's specialty depends on him or her being able to work privately in order to maintain his or her skills. In current circumstances I am not in a position to consider any category C application from St. Vincent's University Hospital without full disclosure. There are no category C consultants at St. Vincent's University Hospital.
