The Secretary General, who is sitting in front of me, wrote to me that " ... it is the expectation and understanding of the Department that each Chief Executive would be headquartered in the head office ...". The Minister wrote to me and said that "... an estimate of time allocation would be: Nenagh (20%)". I asked the two previous witnesses, the chief executive of SOLAS and the Secretary General of the Department, about the period of time they would normally spend in their head office and they both said in excess of 70%, if I remember rightly. Is the Minister's comment accurate?
