Mr. John Cregan:

I said in my report that there was a split between the HSE-approved component of the salaries and the private CRC component of the salaries. I went on to say that the most egregious aspect of the whole affair was that the public sector pay cuts were not applied to the private CRC component of the salaries. Given that the individual is getting just one salary, as far as I am concerned there is no mechanism for any employer to avoid not applying the full public sector cut to the whole salary.
