When a person is appointed to the position of Secretary General of the Department, he or she will earn €292,000 but, as a result of the reductions taken by members of the Cabinet, the Minister will earn €158,000. Does Mr. Moloney have any concerns about there being such a disparity between the Secretary General of the Department and the Minister who has ultimate responsibility for the Department?
