I was not talking about the Senator. Yesterday's debate was important and covered new politics. I mentioned the breaching of pay caps for special advisers. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Simon Coveney, has a great friend, Mr. Fergal Leamy, who was his special adviser and is an eminent individual. He said he would come on board as his patriotic duty and left after six months. He breached the pay cap. Another colleague in Glanbia, Mr. Ross Mac Mathuna, has now been appointed as the Minister's special adviser. What happened to the pay cap?
