Mr. David Moloney:

As things stand, the expectation is that they would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. We should bear in mind that there are some limitations and constraints concerning what the Government is allowed to do in such cases. There is, of course, the constitutional right to fair procedure. There are employment laws that may be relevant, although not all employment law applies to Secretaries General. There is the need for process. Given the seniority involved and the circumstances, it would probably require a bespoke response.
