The reason I asked as Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts is, and I am sure members agree, that when salaries of the scale of €130,000 or €170,000 are being paid, the taxpayer would expect a full-time commitment. I am pleased Professor Norton is saying that it is not a substantially remunerated position. I accept what he is saying about it being a very modest amount.
