When people are out fund-raising for all these agencies and they see a situation, regardless of its merits or demerits, with this level of pension contribution into private schemes from public funds, there is a major question mark. Under section E, non-compliance, there are 12 agencies confirmed in letter and identified under "no approvals submitted for deviations from payroll pay policy." The 12 organisations are Carriglea, Dublin Dental University Hospital, Royal Hospital Donnybrook, Muiriosa Foundation, Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, the Adelaide and Meath Hospital, the Coombe Women's and Infants' Maternity Hospital, Our Lady's Hospice and Care Services, Cappagh National Orthopaedic Hospital, St. Michael's House, the Rotunda Hospital, the Central Remedial Clinic and the National Maternity Hospital. What reasons did they give for breaching the Government pay policy?
