Given the concerns I have raised, which are reasonable, I suggest that a policy on this matter be drawn up. It should not fall to an individual case. That is not fair on the individual or the Department. There should be a policy on how public servants gift money to the State and an accountability structure for it. I would be surprised if the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform did not have a policy in this area and that it was left solely to ad hocarrangements between individuals and their employers.
