Mr Tom Kelly also acted as Special Advisor to me on loan from the Health Service Executive (HSE) during the period 11 April 2005 to 11 September 2006 and his salary was paid directly by the HSE. My Department has requested the HSE to confirm his salary details and I will revert to the Deputy as soon as this information becomes available.
