The reason I asked the question is that I am conscious, as I am sure Mr. Moloney is, that in recent times we have had two Secretaries General who have gone on to become ambassadors. The Secretaries General referred to in Mr. Moloney’s submission to the committee have gone on into third level institutions. All of them are highly qualified and talented people but the impression I get as a Deputy is that suitable jobs are being looked for to see what we can do with this talented person whose seven years is up and where can that policy go. Are the options that are available to retired Secretaries General getting broader?
