If Secretaries General do not want their salaries published they should “not take the senior job in the public service”, the Social Democrats have said.
It comes as calls continue for Department of Health Secretary General Robert Watt to confirm when he stopped waiving his salary increase.
Mr Watt was appointed to the role in April 2021 on a salary of €292,000. This was an €81,000 pay rise compared to his previous position in the Department of Public Expenditure.
