Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

There are formal allowances that are recognised so there are processes. My experience has involved us being open and honest about it and disclosing it because there are people who carry out additional duties above and beyond what is their normal work and we need to take that into account. One of the things the board is planning to put in place is a sub-committee of the board that would look at remuneration so we are clear we have recognised that while adhering to public pay and policy. We recognise that an institution of this size and nature will have unique elements that might not be around the rest of the system. While it is not relevant to the legislation, the board has already agreed to establish one of those sub-committees that would look at remuneration so that we have good governance in respect of the decisions we make.
