Kieran O'Donnell: Everyone in the office. Is it core pay or is it performance related? Bonuses are a thing of the past. Does a company such as this, a State body, get any funding from the taxpayer at this point in time?

Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, I find it hard to credit a bonus system in an organisation such as this at the moment. It is a bonus system as some people did not qualify for it. In the current climate does the average salary of €70,000 for 66 staff include the performance related pay?

Kieran O'Donnell: Okay. If €220,000 is divided among, say, 63 people, that amount to approximately €3,500 per person which is a significant sum. I ask the witness to rethink on that issue. I note that consultants fees amounted to €2.294 million, that the organisation borrowed €2 million and yet in the same period it had €2 million or €3 million or more on deposit....

Kieran O'Donnell: Why has the organisation set up a defined pension scheme given that it was set up only in 1999? That is unusual in the present environment and very expensive to fund.
