When Mr. Moloney considers the person holding the post in the Civil Service or in the public service who is about to be seconded to a university, what would he look at in terms of that sanction? Is it as broad as what he has just said and that is it? Does he consider the knock-on effects of that person departing their role, will that person be paid by the Department or by the university and if there are any other strings or costs attached to it? Does he go into that type of examination?
