He is a public servant and I am simply asking if he is in receipt of an allowance. We have to account for allowances that we get. It is a reasonable question to ask. There is an advance paramedic allowance of €10,000, which is to be paid to practising advance practitioners, not people who do not practise. There is an attempt through this roles and responsibilities review to take that away from some paramedics. It is not unreasonable to ask Mr. Morton, as the director of the NAS, if he is in receipt of that allowance. He is a public servant paid by the taxpayer. He is either in receipt of that allowance or he is not.
