I have a brief question for Ms Carolan. She estimated that the salary for the vacant post of director of the National Cyber Security Centre should be in the order of €220,000 to €290,000, with benefits. It has been speculated in the media that the current salary for the post is around €89,000. Can Ms Carolan explain why she has recommended the salary of €220,000 to €290,000? That is a very high salary. Why does it need to be at that level? I also ask her to outline the type of candidate they are seeking to recruit.
