Ms Si?n N? Raghallaigh:

As I said previously when this question came up, the board is responsible for the hiring of the director general. After that the deputy director general is empowered. I believe it is something that we have to look at in the context of everything in terms of the organisation. The rate of the director general's salary is set by the Department Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. Everything is pegged on that, I guess, from there down.
