The Minister for Social Protection says the public has the right to complete and accurate information from the Central Remedial Clinic (CRC) about top up salaries to executives.

It comes as the CRC has admitted that some money from the fund was used to pay executives over and above the the pay scales of the Department of Health.

The unauthorised allowance is in breach of the public sector pay cap.

Joan Burton is in Killarney for the Labour Party conference which begins this evening. She has been speaking to Radio Kerry.

A total of nine people received top-ups through the lottery, with that number currently at five due to retirements and vacancies.

The organisation's then-Chief Executive Paul Kiely was paid a salary of almost €107,000 and this was supplemented by the clinic with €136,000.

The CRC works with children and adults with physical disabilities. It received €16 million in grants last year and operates out of centres in Dublin, Limerick and Waterford.

The Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee has heard that of 43 'Section 38s', or voluntary, organisations, only seven have shown conclusively that they are not breaching the government cap. 

Independent TD Shane Ross of the Public Accounts Committee told Newstalk' Breakfast earlier that more charities are likely to admit to doing the same thing and it will have a very damaging effect.

He has called for resignations from the CRC Board.
