============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

This week the Committee of Public Accounts has asked the Government to stall the recruitment process for the new Secretary General of the Department of Health. If the process goes ahead, an additional €81,000 will be provided in remuneration for the position. The committee also dealt this week with the ever-increasing spiralling costs for the national children's hospital. We have two different scenarios; one in which we are told that the spiralling costs cannot be addressed at this stage and another concerning an outrageous increase in salary that we can stop. I urge the Tánaiste to ensure that it is stopped.
