Ms Hilary Murphy-Fagan:

Following the report, we did a detailed analysis around that finding. Prior to 2011 for staff at those grades, the entitlement was for 32 days. That has changed to 30 days. Our detailed analysis has demonstrated that a small percentage, not a large percentage, had been given more annual leave than they were entitled to. It was approximately 4% to 5% and less at principal officer grade. The National Shared Services Office, NSSO, has been in contact with those staff and local human resources to rectify that. It applies to a small number of people.
