Public Accounts Committee

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration

10:30 am

Mr. Jim Nugent:

I believe the chief executive of an organisation like the Central Remedial Clinic, in the complex world in which it lives and given the nature of the work it does, must be examined in terms of the level that should be there. Regardless of whether it is this or some other level, when we were taking a look at the new salary level when approaching the question of a replacement for Mr. Kiely, we believed it was going to be very difficult to get the calibre of person needed to run the clinic.
