Unless the Minister is telling me this article is completely incorrect, it refers to "a €190,000 annual salary with a company car" and "the starting salary set for the role had been ... €137,356". I am raising this to clarify the issue. Deputy Carthy brought it up in his first question. The article goes on to state, "The contract also said a car allowance of €13,150 along with reasonable mileage would be paid to the new chief executive." It would appear that at some stage, this increase was sanctioned and that an allowance for a car and mileage was also sanctioned. It was for the person taking up the office of chief executive. There was, therefore, an increase.
