He said, "This represents a 41% reduction over the past five years" in an email dated February 2020. When I look at the figures of what Mr. Kelly set out in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and we expect that what was published was actually what Mr. Tubridy was paid in 2015 and 2016, it is approximately €2.5 million. Therefore, if he was to be taking a 41% reduction between the 2015 to 2020 period relative to the 2020 to 2025 period, we are looking at pay of more than €4.5 million or close to €4.5 million.

Can Mr. Kelly explain whether there are additional payments in 2015 and 2016 that he has not set out here? Are there additional payments that were on top of the published payments for 2015 and 2016 that would add up to the 41% reduction he talks about in the correspondence?
