Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin:

He had concerns, the details of which Ms Spillane can outline. As chairperson of the HSE, I was very concerned because, as I pointed out, most of the people employed in section 38 organisations were complying in full with Government pay policy. The issues raised relate to a very small number of people. Mr. O'Brien and I agree that the correct way to deal with the issue is to finalise the process in which Mr. O'Brien is engaged and receive a final report. Any assistance the committee can give would be very valuable in bringing these matters to a conclusion.
