Ms Hilary Murphy-Fagan:

It is outside my remit to talk about what happens in any area other than my own. However, in some cases, the staff who used to carry out the work transfer to my office. We take them and the budget for them comes with them. Where staff used to do that work in a location and they cannot, or do not want, to transfer or it is a remote location such as Dundalk to Galway, we would look at the original pay bill for them and work out how many staff are still in that payroll function. If staff have moved, we would ensure a reconciliation was done.
