Taoiseach Micheal Martin has put Dr Tony Holohan’s appointment to a new €187,000 a year taxpayer-funded Trinity College professorship on hold.
Mr Martin said that Dr Holohan’s job switch from Chief Medical Officer to academia has been put on hold pending a report from the Minister for Health to be presented to him on Monday.
He said: “In my view, it should be paused, there should be a reassessment.”
