Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

As I understand it, no such payment is being made or envisaged. I will have to check out the position in some detail. I did not see the e-mail and if Deputy Rabbitte put me in possession of the e-mail I would be in a better position to comment on it. It has not been suggested to me over recent weeks that any pay rises are impending.
