In theory secondments are supposed to be temporary but in practice sometimes they are not. Is it a technical matter? Is that what Mr. Moloney is saying? Sometimes secondments are forever. Does Mr. Moloney think there is a concern in relation to that? Does he think there needs to be further clarity to make it very clear how secondments work if they are to an external body, as mentioned, and if they are basically long term?
