Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

The Deputy will find that I am happy to answer any question. On his point regarding aggregate salaries, the individual to whom he referred was appointed to all those positions by the Government of which the Deputy was a member. Having said that, I take his point. The aggregation of salaries is an issue we will have to examine. The same issues will arise in regard to aggregation of pensions, which I will consider in the pensions Bill.
