Professor Denis Cusack:

It is the same basis as we negotiated in 1997. People say their salaries should be published but they are published. It is a very simple formula. There are three areas as Dublin and Cork are different because of their size. Other areas have approximately €22,000 to run the entire office. As the Senator has asked I will give the details. For each death reported it is approximately €129. If there is a post mortem it is €180 . It is €520 for an inquest.
