The Deputy needs to be very careful about saying this is a personal deal of some kind. This was a decision made on the salary for a post. That post is the Secretary General of the Department of Health. That decision was made. The post went to an open public competition advertised in Ireland and internationally. The selection of the successful candidate was recommended by the Top Level Appointments Committee. I do not think the Deputy should call into question the character or good name of the people involved in the process.
