I have some straightforward questions. I am mindful of time. I refer to the salary increase for the Secretary General position in the Department of Health. Is the Taoiseach concerned it will lead to a cascade of claims at the top levels of the Civil Service, not just at Secretary General level, because once one person gets an increase surely the rest will look for it down the line? Will it also impact on other senior officers, such as principal officers and other senior grades?
