Ms Angela Kerins:

I think Deputy McDonald has raised a very good point. If I could de-personalise this by talking about the post of chief executive of the Rehab Group, the issue or difficulties with the information Deputy McDonald has just given us is that the not-for-profit sector is a broad church. There are people in the not-for-profit sector who are running one reasonably large charity who are earning €100,000 to €140,000. Then there are other smaller charities with approximately €2 million in turnover and their CEOs would be on salaries of between €80,000 and €90,000. What I am trying to say is that the post of chief executive cannot be evaluated in name only. One needs to look at the total size of the organisation and its breadth in order to establish the proper remuneration for the leadership of that organisation.
