Peadar Tóibín: My point is that salaries operate in comparison to each other. They relate to each other. They are not independent of each other. In answer to the question I asked on this particular salary the Minister said this particular salary is fully independent and isolated from all other salaries and will not be used as a benchmark or a tool by anybody to look for salary increase in future. This...

Peadar Tóibín: The Government sees itself as a government of fiscal prudence. It regularly tells people to lower their expectations with regard to pay rises. Whole sectors of the public service, such as the Defence Forces, have been waiting for pay rises for a long period and have been refused them. Yet we have this significant largesse at this critical level of the Civil Service. Is the wage...

Peadar Tóibín: The country is quite shocked by what happened in the mental health services for children in Kerry, as detailed in the report just released. If other cases of HSE failings of children were to occur, that could potentially have a downward effect on the Secretary General's salary of nearly €300,000.

Peadar Tóibín: Go raibh maith agat a Aire. The Minister said he could never go far enough but he did go far enough for Robert Watt and his wage. It is very interesting and quite startling that he said this will not form a benchmark or a reference point for other salaries in the public service. What he is saying is that the figure is not part of any process. He is saying it is independent of any system...

Peadar Tóibín: I am only asking the Minister whether salaries are benchmarked. I asked the Minister whether this wage is part of the four tiers and I did not get an answer on it. I did not get an answer with regard to the benchmarking in the public service.

Peadar Tóibín: I am linking it to performance. Surely there is accountability. The Minister mentioned that there is a performance-related element to this as well.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Aontú is supporting this motion. The only problem I have is that if the motion is passed but the necessary investment is not put into services, there will be no beds for children within the system in this State. We need to have enough child psychiatric beds to admit children into. Otherwise it is not going to work for the children on the ground. We need to ensure that all children...
