Salary Increase for Position of Secretary General at the Department of Health: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. David Moloney:
I am not aware. As the Deputy knows, I have been an acting Secretary General for the past number of weeks. I would not have been privy to those discussions. The waiving of salary increases happens on an individual basis in terms of the legislation that applies to it. We know that Ministers have waived increases that have fallen to be paid for quite some time now but I would not be privy to the decisions made by individual Secretaries General.
