"Yes" is the answer to the question I put.
The Chairman asked this question earlier. Did it not strike anyone as sensible to ensure, contractually, that these pay hikes would not be applicable to this position given its unique and bizarre nature and the fact we had already, through the Minister's good offices, approved an €81,000 pay hike? Did nobody say the position did not need a further €9,000 within a 12-month period from November of last year?
