Ms Oonagh Buckley:

We have given the Chairman the results of a survey of our files. Mr. Brazel and I have had responsibility for the supervision of pay policy within the health sector from the Department of Finance's and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's perspective since 2009. I can assure the Chairman that, aside from those instances about which we have written to the committee, neither Mr. Brazel nor I had any awareness that there was such an extensive range of top-up payments.
