I am referring to row 47 of that table - Mr. Ó Foghlú might be on the wrong document. This is the Excel spreadsheet he sent to us. It is the submission to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It relates to the university sector. Row 47 relates to tutor payments to people working in universities. A tutor role is pretty frequent within our third-level establishments. Why can the existing academic pay grades and salary scales not accommodate a post as common as the tutor post within our colleges?
