Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Where settlements involve lower level staff, there may be, depending on the circumstances, a merit in keeping matters confidential because they are employee issues. However, where there is a significant settlement with the most senior person departing an organisation, that requires a different level of transparency, I think.
