The requested payscales are in the following table. All rates are those applying on 31 December of each year and are shown in euro terms. Higher scales were introduced for the clerical officer, higher executive officer and administrative officer grades as part of PCW restructuring in the 1995-97 period. Prior to 1977 separate lower scales called "A scales" existed for single men and women, the scales shown here are the "B scales" which applied to married men. The grade of second secretary has the same payscale as Secretary General, standard scale, so separate scales are not listed. The scales for deputy secretary in 1953 are not available. This grade does not exist in most Departments.

I would take the opportunity to advise the Deputy that current payscales for main Civil Service grades are published on my Department's website.
