Mr. Martin Fraser:

I do not know where to go with that. Effectively, from my point of view, as I said, under the terms of my original appointment as Secretary to the Government and Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach, when my term is up I will transfer to another position, retire or go into an international organisation. It is a transfer, and therefore, a reassignment, for me within the Civil Service. It is not a promotion, or anything like it.

I note the Senator's characterisation of this. I think there are easier places to go than London, at the moment. Perhaps I have a handy number there but I am not sure that is a good characterisation of the job.
