Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion

Mr. Martin Fraser:

The rationale is based on the empirical evidence of the types of candidates who apply for these jobs. The HSE is the most obvious example because there was not a successful outcome of the competition. No suitable candidate was found at the first time of asking. I think the Minister referred to that in his letter.
