Minister for Higher Education Simon Harris said today that there was no government memo setting out the pay rise bringing the salary to nearly €300,000.
Mr Harris said today that the Cabinet was informed of the reassignments of secretary generals to certain government departments.A government spokesperson said today that the Cabinet was informed that the process for the role was about to begin and because of highly complex and challenging nature of the role it would attract improved terms.
He said that it reflected the very significant additional workload in a Department with a budget of €22 billion. Committee chair Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley said the public was entitled to know why there was a substantial deviation on salary.
So who did give the thumbs up for this pay rise? Ridiculous already in ‘normal’ times but in the current situation? Typical politicians.

Robert Watt was in the Department of Public Expenditure. The same Department that cut the PUP Payments for thousands of people. So what he saved in the cuts he gave to himself. Simple.
