This is why it is important to look at these issues in the round and why the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, established an independent review panel in respect of the issue of recruitment to and remuneration for senior posts in the Civil Service. We need to assess what the appropriate level of remuneration is for some key posts at Civil Service level and in our semi-State bodies. I expect to receive the report on that matter either at the end of the first quarter of this year or early in the second quarter. That will then allow me and the Government to consider what the overall strategy is on pay at the most senior level of our Civil Service.
