The Deputy might bear with me. I think it is important because it speaks to Dr. Holohan's reputation. He was a fine public servant who I had the opportunity to work with in a very difficult situation. I do not believe it would be a fair characterisation to say Dr. Holohan would benefit from this. Dr. Holohan's salary was not going to change. Nothing was going to change. Had Dr. Holohan stayed on at the Department of Health or gone on to the secondment, he would have been no better off it, if I may state that.
