Ms Josephine Feehily:

I do not know. I do not make decisions about appointments. The opening up of the process of appointing Secretaries General to public competition is relatively recent but from the time the Government decided to open up Secretary General posts, commissioners were opened up in line with everyone else. It is no different.
