One of the issues we sought to address related to the 100 highest salaries. I appreciate this information could not be published for GDPR reasons. However, it is perhaps appropriate, particularly if people are being put on a scale, that there be transparency around those salary levels and scales. When Mr. Bakhurst was on "Prime Time" on 16 August, he indicated what Ryan Tubridy was going to be paid. For his radio slot and podcast, he would be on €170,000. I am wondering why, if Mr. Bakhurst was able to say what Mr. Tubridy's payment level was, we cannot at least see the scale around the 100 highest salaries. Did Mr. Bakhurst contact those 100 employees to see whether they were happy to have their scales published?
