Mr. Tom O'Mahony:

Yes. However, I emphasise that this was a person seconded to work in a post at assistant secretary level, but her salary was only that of an assistant principal officer. The other way of looking at it would be that she was being paid an assistant secretary's salary for as long as she was carrying out the duties of assistant secretary.
