Mr. Paul Reid:

I am happy to speak. There is a legacy issue, which the Deputy quite rightly referred to as dating to 2007. I was not here then. It is an issue that has been through various industrial relations and pay processes between the Department of Health, the HSE and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It was the subject of various previous pay agreements over past years. It is a legacy issue and it has gone through. There are certain processes and procedures with regard to public service pay which have addressed this. People feel aggrieved but many grades feel aggrieved. I have addressed the matter of my own salary. I was not here previously and cannot compare my salary-----
