Why has there been the resistance to disclosing the salaries that are available to senior staff members? This was never about Ms Kerins's individual salary - that may have been her interpretation. It certainly was a matter of keen interest for the media and I understand that. It was probably a matter of keen interest because Ms Kerins was so reluctant to disclose it in the first place. Can she see the point I am making, that there is a logic in disclosing the salaries, at the very least, of the senior staff members who are in receipt of substantial public funding for the services that they operate? Would she accept that?
