In light of the fact that Children's Health Ireland is coming in next week and that the Comptroller and Auditor General has raised with us the fact that a previous CEO's contract and the settlement of same led to her being reappointed within the entity as a strategic director, would it be possible for us to ask Children's Health Ireland to prepare a briefing for us as to that person's role, function and remit within the organisation? I have just looked it up online and have seen that the CEO of Children's Health Ireland was paid €177,000 in 2022. It is quite a sizeable sum. If a strategic director is to be on the same money while not operating as the CEO, it would be of benefit to the committee to have sight of that role and the function and outcomes of that job. If we are writing to the organisation, can that be included?
