Public Accounts Committee

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration

12:50 pm

Mr. Jim Nugent:

In the first instance, an audit committee and a remuneration committee are recommended as a regular governance issue. The fact that we would not have been increasing salaries and reviewing them to increase them was because everyone was largely covered by whatever was going on with regard to the national wage agreements. Broadly speaking, it just involved overseeing that, but there was no requirement on us to do a major exercise on individuals or groups of individuals with respect to special increases. They were all pre-set way back in history.
