Shane Ross: Mr. Corrigan might like to think it, but he has not gone out to find out whether it is right or wrong.

Shane Ross: That is why Mr. Corrigan has to pay them so much. How much is Ms Fitzpatrick paid?

Shane Ross: So the NTMA does not recruit everybody in the market. It appoints insiders who do not have to go to competition and it refuses to reveal how much they are paid.

Shane Ross: Basically Mr. Corrigan will not tell us, so we are acting in the dark about what people are paid. We are a value-for-money committee. We obviously cannot make any judgments on individuals because we do not know what they are getting paid and Mr. Corrigan will not tell us. That is the reality. It seems pretty farcical to me. What about pensions? How much is Michael Somers, Mr....

Shane Ross: So Mr. Corrigan pays none, the employer pays none and he is getting a six figure pension. Can Mr. Corrigan indicate how much it will be? If it is related to salary, presumably there is a formula.

Shane Ross: Why will Mr. Corrigan not tell us? It is coming out of public funds. I think it is reasonable, Chairman, that we should know what pensions people get.

Shane Ross: We know it is six figures but I do not know whether it is €100,000 or up to Dr. Somers's figure of €265,000. I am trying to establish what sort of arrangements senior staff at the NTMA have for their pensions. I am not getting very far because, while I know it is related to salary, I do not know how closely it is related to salary or what the formula is.
