Mr. O'Malley was awarded an increment on the Principal Officer Standard pay scale with effect from 28 March 2012, following one year's satisfactory performance in the post, in line with the terms of his appointment. As Mr Nugent's salary is not linked to a pay scale the awarding of increments does not apply in his case.
