Mr. Martin Blake:

On the specific of the difference in salary, I just do not have it to hand. What I can say, in the context of the actual agreement and the proposed salary of the current CEO, that it is dealt with under the code of practice for the governance of State bodies. The process is that the board makes an application to the Department for approval to move forward with the appointment with a suggested salary scale. We would have gone through that and discussed it with DPER in the context of the actual value that was proposed. We agreed to it on the basis that it was not out of line with comparable organisations.
