There is a table in the accounts concerning the remuneration of Accounting Officers. First, it would be useful if the Department could send us the 2023 amounts because there was a variation in 2022. For example, we had the Secretary General of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage before the committee. The amount that is stated here is €225,000, whereas newspaper articles say it is €235,000. I am questioning whether that is the actual figure. The other issue is that a backdated amount was paid. Is that backdated amount stated in the current accounts?
